Blazing torch of great pioneer
Untimely burnt out at age 38
Hymns that immortalized thy legacy
Inexhaustable spring of inspiration
I let it flow sincerely from the heart
As I tumble the steps you once walked
Humbly admitting to myself
I shall never reach the heights of thy splendor
Let my candle ablaze a furor fire
With no smoldering embers left behind
Let the twilight hour grant me the peace
This life was unable to bring
Let there be no regrets - no stones unturned
When my ashes scatters on the north wind
"The sound of thunder, of wind and of rain
Made way for the one who rode to Asa bay"
Let my candle ablaze a furor fire
With no smoldering embers left behind
Let there be no regrets - no stones unturned
When our spirits rejoice in the great halls...
