Beautiful Elysium


I served in Spain, fighting for the Empire
I've now arrived, where the summer sun's warm
The breeze is cool, the scent of heather drifts
The weather never changes, day to day the same
The rains that fall renew, never winds and storms
And my mood here finds hope, always, it lifts
Somehow the gods saw fit to remember my name
Elysium, Elysium, I've come here to sleep
But only in your blessed holy embrace
Only in your embrace I long to be near
In Fair and Beautiful Elysium
