It's Hymn of the Immortal Warrior by Manowar.

A hero was he
Touching all our lives
As if he lived and died
In a single moment

Great were his deeds
All his words were true
He lived and died
A man of honor

He paid with his life
For his life was the price
To pass the gates immortal

Thy journey begins
With sword in the wind
Stay thy hand rest thy command
For Odin's call was heard above them all
Thy name shall never die!

Long shall we remember
He who walked the road of danger
Master of revenge
Death's no stranger

Blood and death lived on his sword
The god of war his only lord
Into the depths of hell
Go all he fell

Take thy shield take thy sword
All thy weapons to the sky
Ye shall need them when Odin bid thee rise

For none but the brave
Shall rise up from the grave
To see the Valkyries fly

And so it was by the hand of Odin
Did the immortal warrior pass through
The gates of Valhalla and into legend.

Rise brother rise pass Valhalla's gates
Here great warriors await

Reborn from thy steel
All thy wounds be healed

From the earth to the sky
Now the son of Odin rise!

Take thy place among the kings
For thy soul shall never die!

Sorry I am late to reply to the thread. When I first saw it my brain was so tired so I wanted to wait until I was able to right something better than just sorry, as sorry seems so inadequate for a rabbit as special as Grimlock But I don't know that I will ever have the right words.

I was so shocked and genuinely saddened when I read of Grim's passing. WE have "spoken" in the past several times about whether it was "his time" and it never has been so I sort of thought he would go on forever He was one of those special brave rabbits that just copes with every thing that gets thrown at them and still finds the energy to love back 100% I hope he is now happily binkying and breathing easily at Rainbow bridge in the healthy body he deserves

Also thinking of you. I know what it is like to care for a rabbit so intensely and then after losing them have that emptiness and time to fill. When Trevor left us, despite having the other rabbits to care for I was completely lost as we did everything for her. Our lives, routine, everything revolved around her needs and suddenly there was nothing Your care and devotion to Grim was amazing. Even when you were struggling hard to cope with his needs you never gave up or looked for the easy option, he always came first

Grimlock and the wonderful care you gave him will never be forgotten on ru xxx

Oh and 18mths on, if I hear Trevor's song, it still makes me cry

Thank you for such a lovely message.
I also thought he'd go on forever. I'm finding it hard to be in the house at the moment as after Smoo died I would spend as much time as I could with him, not just doing medication but giving him cuddles, watching films together, reading... It's going to be a while before I can do that again without him.
It's going to be weird not having to rush him to the emergency vets on my birthday like I seemed to do every year. I will miss him.
