For the Ten

[laurah]

Because sometimes Leah misses those who have passed into the Labyrinth.

-----------------
For the Ten

Sometimes I talk to them
As if they were behind a pillar
Just out of sight but not out of mind
Sometimes I miss them
A weight upon my chest
Pushing down with all the force of their loss

[chorus]
For their Nation
For the Empire
For their Virtue
For their Virtue
[/chorus]

Sometimes I forget them
I think they are abroad
Fighting another fight or doing Virtue's work
And then I feel that guilt at not missing them
How could I when they fought and died for the Empire?

But I forgive too
Myself for forgetting
And them for leaving
For we would not deny the dead their place in history
Or the living respite from their grief

We remember those who died that day
And those who fell on others
They will be committed to Highguard's memory
When this world and the Labyrinth are closer
Speak their names with joy and Pride
