We are his people, so great the cost
We stand before you to give this honored soul up to thee
His life was taken as dawn gave way to victory
Recognition in battle for his bravery
This funeral pyre, the flames of fire
His soul released to the sea
Mighty Warrior, all hail to thee
Mighty Warrior, your soul is now set free
We sing the praises as you journey onward to the sky
We celebrate you from the dawn until the night
Valiant hero ever etched into our memory
This funeral pyre, the flames of fire
His soul released to the sea
Mighty Warrior, all hail to thee
Mighty Warrior, your soul is now set free
We stand before you to give this honored soul up to thee
His life was taken as dawn gave way to victory
This funeral pyre, the flames burning higher and higher
Recognition in battle for his bravery
The funeral pyre, engulfed in the fife
The flames burning higher
His soul is now released to the sea
Mighty Warrior, all hail to thee
Mighty Warrior, your soul is now set free
We are his people, we grieve the loss
We are his people, so great the cost
