1. I justified parting from you when I saw
That you respond according to what I express

2. And I do not care how our branches were
As long as we, in brotherhood, share the same root

3. Though you do not come to me and hide from me
I count you as a blade made bare for a blade

4. You supported me, though absent, in my absence and excused me
Standing by my excuse and passing judgement decidedly

5. So you remain veiled, though fighting, assailing
And triumphing over the adversary with excellence
