Dark Lady knocked so loudly, when she came for you my friend. But you fought with her so bravely and refused to meet your end. She dealt you blows so harsh and cruel, convinced that you'd give in. You battled on regardless, tried not to let her win.
But death, she is a tricky one, and so it wasn't long Before she had you in her grasp, it seemed to us so wrong. She took you off so quickly, our tears they ran like rain, Our only comfort, memories, and the ending of your pain.
To me, you stand as warrior, determined, fierce and strong. You stood up to the Siren and refused to hear her song. I carry you within my heart, my prayers, each night I send. I'm sure we'll meet again, but until then sleep well my friend .
