• With winds around and fire about
    With a spirit free I did shout
    "At last, I have won this bout!"
    There, on withered ground

    No tears did fall for the one
    Who brought me tears from sun to sun
    The race is over, and I have won
    I move for higher ground

    He took my place, to many a time
    And I did pay for every crime
    My life did he always begrime
    On his battle ground

    He slept in day and ruled in night
    When I was weak, then did he fight
    No one else could hear me plight
    Alone on barren ground

    Then one day, I did command
    No more would I let evil stand
    I was not his, that firebrand
    We faced on even ground

    Not by might, nor by the sword
    Holding faith, my spirit roared
    To me my strength was restored
    No more on his fighting ground

    It was not swift, nor without pain
    My freedom was the prize to gain
    My resolve was evil's bane
    His death on frozen ground

    If you look close, you might see
    That he looks just like another me
    But now he's gone and I am free
    Here on burial ground
