For Charlie Kirk

Lift your eyes, a Man has gone

unto the Empire of the Son

Flamboyuant, Fearless, Friend of God,

Captain Kirk on Final Run

Oblivion, an empty bed,

a husband gone, a father dead,

but nothing down in hell below

will cancel out a Word you said

Sacred Warriors from the Rift,

from every hill and plain,

are gathering across the Land,

remembering the Slain

Farewell my friend, but fear ye not,

Charlie vit demain

Like Jesus Christ, your blood was spilled,

but not a drop in vain
