His Duty in Verdant Lands of Spring
When there was weakness
We had his strength
When there was fear
His bravery brought peace
When there was chaos
Discipline was his gift
Here he served proudly
Now, he faces the unknown
Yet, he embraces the light
The Angels are in need of a new Major
His duty now, is to serve a Greater Commander
