Tune is roughly Last of the Great Whales though there's an extra syllable in chosen lines.
The labyrinth holds my boy
Now who will walk with me
No more will I see his smile
No more will he tease me
His face was beautiful
I wish he was here
How his eyes could bring forth the sun
His arms banish all fear
His lord says that he died well
Covered all in glory
And I'm to take comfort from
Him in song and story
But he died so far away
I wish he was here
I need someone to cry on
And he is nowhere near
Though hollow I must go on
Held up by loyalty
We've gold ribbons for his grave
He'll lie like royalty
His family demand no less
I wish he was here
He'd like to see how he lay
How many held him dear
And now the goodbyes are done
And he walks on alone
Perhaps we will meet again
Our lives play out unknown
His death will happen again
I wish he was here
He'll go on to greater things
I'm glad that he was here
The labyrinth holds my boy
Now who will walk with me
No more will I see his smile
No more will he tease me
His face was beautiful
I wish he was here
How his eyes could bring forth the sun
His arms banish all fear
His lord says that he died well
Covered all in glory
And I'm to take comfort from
Him in song and story
But he died so far away
I wish he was here
I need someone to cry on
And he is nowhere near
Though hollow I must go on
Held up by loyalty
We've gold ribbons for his grave
He'll lie like royalty
His family demand no less
I wish he was here
He'd like to see how he lay
How many held him dear
And now the goodbyes are done
And he walks on alone
Perhaps we will meet again
Our lives play out unknown
His death will happen again
I wish he was here
He'll go on to greater things
I'm glad that he was here
