Someone told me you died today

And it may have surprised you to hear I wept with no words to say

I know in our past we fought a grand war

Though hidden in mutual understanding were the reasons that we fought for

Pride, recognition, and our time in the light

The love, the girl, and a brighter future in sight

But sadly, my former fiend, there was no reason to put up the fight

Cause I'm still an average man, and you're a corpse tonight

We thought of each others as gods, but in fact we were human

And we fought for a lifetime, two old souls ruined

So as a payment of respect, I recognize those bitter days

And leave a red rose on your newly made grave
