Child raised in the temple of Phoebus,
Hear me one last time, for I can not
Reach you when you are gone,
The world you know will change shape.
The future is forever altered
By what you have done,
So see to it that you exit with pride.
Thou hath saved us all;
When you breath your last breath,
Life will weep and death will mourn,
But a piece of you will forever be left behind.
Rest now;
Rejoice!
Fear not the judgment awaiting,
For you are beloved by all the gods.
