lyrics

The gates stand open, banners still.
The bright sun slowly swings around
An empty courtyard. Goblets spill
The red, red wine across the ground
Beside a swiftly toppled chair.
And in the dusty stillness there
The crowded echoes softly die
And darkness claims the lonely sky

CHORUS:
Upon a distant, wasted land
My kinsmen died for me
Drink up the wine, here brothers all;
Drink up, their many names recall;
Drink deep, as one by one they fall
To keep Erdreja free.

Beyond the tavern, tables bare;
I trace the fading battle call,
Still haunting trampled footsteps where
They lead away towards the hall,
And through the star-lit cavern door
Into the Void Gate's gaping maw.
They went with cheeks flushed, courage high
Eyes closed, I watch them pass me by

CHORUS

No heroes less the living, for
Each soldier gambled everything.
But to the honoured dead we pour
The blood-red wine and praises sing,
That, in some foreign field, they hear
Our distant voices calling clear
To bring their ragged patterns home
And raise them up on glory's throne.

CHORUS
