Somewhere there stands a flowing fountain
Where the blades of fallen heroes sway
As a testament to time, ***** they shall remain
Gravestones for the nameless
Honor for the lost
Though they fell and bodies gone
Lives were laid to pay the cost
As flowers bloom around steely hilt
Calm water does surround
Forever to be remembered
Dust to dust, back in earthly ground
Stretching far and vast
This calming oasis always true
Flat sheets of liquid ripple
As a blade is placed anew
And with the calming sun
Greeting life with warming hands
A red rose opens upon its sheath
For this,
Is where a soldier stands
Originally "Quam Honorem"
