Those who say, when they meet their equals,
When they meet their peers, they say:
“Indeed, death seeks whoever has not been slain.”
Death will take whoever is not killed.

So they embrace the champions in the fury of battle,
So they embrace the heroes in battle's fury,
Beneath the spearheads and the dark-gray dust.
Beneath the spears and dark steel blades.
