1. You die and I live on
This strange decree

2. The sick abide to heal
While at times the healer dies

3. If death takes you far away
Reunion is nigh

4. Or if without you life goes ill
Then death will gratify

5. Long we have suffered
Aided by our hearts

6. Today we've melted, yielding
For iron itself dissolves

7. Do not weep, my beloved
Many another beloved remains

8. Once a stranger here with us
None are strangers there

9. You've reached your peaceful abode
Anxiety comes not near
