Back Story: After being asked to sing Kyrie at Winter Night's 2008 by Mistress Anna, she had mentioned that the only thing holding me back from singing the piece is the fact that it isn't in English. She suggested I filk it. I gawked at the idea not knowing how to filk something of this nature.
Later in the evening, Queen Alethea raised a glass and mentioned that as long as she was in reign, she would toast all those who are no longer with us or able to be with us. It touched me.
So I now bring you a piece I wrote to the tune of Kyrie. And before you begin reading, I would like you all to think of those who are unable to be here.
Raise a glass so far above
To those we've lost, to those we love
They stay within our memories
We will not forget
Raise a glass to those well met
Those we know and don't know yet
In our hearts and in our minds
We love them all
We will not forget
All the lives touched
Every heart brushed
They are here with us
With our tales – we wont forget
With our songs – we wont forget
Memories we hold dear
Raise a glass so far above
To those we've lost, to those we love
They stay within our memories
We will not forget
Raise a glass to those well met
Those we know and don't know yet
In our hearts and in our minds
We love them all
We will not forget
We miss you this day
