What a fading feat that falls
Upon the many, all the same
And where like the wreathes
Surrounds them in eternity
Glory and good men fade
And both untouchable go
N'er to be what they were
They give little comfort to
Those who've lost their love
Or those who struggle on
In their absence, their sorrow
No longer sharing psalms of glory
No more do their voices ring
Only emptiness in the loss
A magnitude unknown, doling on
What great feats could be
Lost now to only inquiries brief
And questions pandered fleetingly
That are left unanswered forever
For eternity to wash away each day
Bit by bit mantle made in glory
