Painting by Jim Mc Dermott
As if from nowhere - silently
you came - and you stood by me
a cripple fantasy

Song for Egidius " Egidius, waer bestu bleven?"
Egidius, where are you now?
I miss you so, the cheerful company
Fate dealt you death, to me was life allowed
Our friendship blossomed from the heart
I thought that we should never part
Now you are raised to heaven's height
Brighter than the sun that shines
And free to savour all delight
Egidius, where are you now?
I miss you so, the cheerful company
Fate dealt you death, to me was life allowed
Pray now for me who still must die
And here on earth face suffering
Keep me a place there by your side
One little song I have to sing
But death must conquer everything
Egidius, where are you now?
I miss you so, the cheerful company
Fate dealt you death, to me was life allowed
Our friendship blossomed from the heart
I thought that we should never part
I miss you so, the cheerful company
Fate dealt you death, to me was life allowed
Our friendship blossomed from the heart
I thought that we should never part
Now you are raised to heaven's height
Brighter than the sun that shines
And free to savour all delight
Egidius, where are you now?
I miss you so, the cheerful company
Fate dealt you death, to me was life allowed
Pray now for me who still must die
And here on earth face suffering
Keep me a place there by your side
One little song I have to sing
But death must conquer everything
Egidius, where are you now?
I miss you so, the cheerful company
Fate dealt you death, to me was life allowed
Our friendship blossomed from the heart
I thought that we should never part
