When All Is Said Lyrics
When all is said,
And all is done,
Beneath the soil,
And man lies dead.
When all the earth,
Is a cold grave,
And no more brave,
Bright things have birth.
When cooling sun,
And stone-cold world,
Together hurled,
Flame up as one.
O sons of men,
When all is flame,
What of your fame,
And splendour then?
When all is fire,
And flaming air,
What of your rare,
And high desire?
To turn the clod,
To a thing divine,
The earth a shrine,
And man the God?
"This song is dedicated,
To all those forgotten years".
