Epitaph To A Friend - Saltatio Mortis

An honest man here lies at rest

As e’er God with His image blest

The friend of man, the friend of truth

The friend of age, and a guide of youth

Few hearts like his, with virtue warmed

Few heads with knowledge so informed

If there’s another world, he lives in bliss

If there is none, he made the best of this

We shared a dream, we laughed and cried

We’ve been through darkness, walked in light

He had a brother fearless mind

When others left, he stood with pride

Let’s raise the glass, put pain aside

Drink up till all the tears have dried

A joyful heart should beat within your chest

Until the day it goes to rest

Let’s raise the glass, put pain aside

Drink up till all the tears have dried

A joyful heart should beat within your chest

Until the day it goes to rest

Until the day we all will go to rest
