Written on July 4, 1999.

I know, he's not dead yet.

Lyrics
Warrior?s Rest
[Verse 1]
Warrior, rest now.
Your body you expended,
But now your duty?s ended.
Enter your rest,
For warrior, you gave your best
For the King;
His fame you made to ring!
And now your memory is blessed.
[Verse 2]
Soldier, sleep now.
Your ash is fully burned,
As suffering you learned.
Enter His bliss,
For soldier, you carried this-
Jesus? name,
As you bore aloft His flame,
And His people felt your holy kiss.
[Verse 3]
Swordsman, repose.
Lips cleansed by His coal,
And burned into your soul.
Reign with Him,
For swordsman, your wick was trim.
Meteor,
You will light our skies no more,
[Mutation of verse 3?s end]
But now, as stars above you?ll soar,
For now you?ve entered heaven?s door.
You lit so many fires,
And now you will shine forevermore.
[End]
Fighter, farewell.
You?ve finished your course,
And we follow on.
Farewell.
