Mastered by battle's raging desire
Impulsive in that glorious war march
Screams of pain give birth to a hateful doom
Mysterious forces lead me to my eternal fate
Solemn and fearful hour of death
As I inhale my last breath
When the time of end is near, God Hermes is invoked
Oh great psychopompos! Transfer my soul to Hades!
I can hear the lamentations of my fellows
And the whispers from the shades below
My blood offering as a as sacrifice of honour
Like a red river flowing to Styx
Carry my relic on my shield
My shrine will stand in the memory of my glory
Recount my dees among the mens of old
Immortal elegy of my departed soul
