On the battlefield a warrior stood
Bhishma the grandsire noble and good
With wisdom and might he led the way
But destiny called on this fateful day
Oh the fall of a legend in the heat of war
Bhishma's valor remembered evermore
With arrows like rain he met his fate
A sacrifice made for the kingdom's state
Arrows pierced his body a bed of pain
Yet Bhishma smiled in the midst of rain
His duty fulfilled his promise kept
As the warriors bowed and the heavens wept
Oh the fall of a legend in the heat of war
Bhishma's valor remembered evermore
With arrows like rain he met his fate
A sacrifice made for the kingdom's state
In his eyes the wisdom of ages past
A warrior's journey from first to last
His blessings given his soul set free
A final breath beneath the sacred tree
Oh the fall of a legend in the heat of war
Bhishma's valor remembered evermore
With arrows like rain he met his fate
A sacrifice made for the kingdom's state
As Bhishma lay on his bed of arrows
He spoke of duty beyond all sorrows
With his last words he blessed the land
A hero's farewell guided by his hand
Oh the fall of a legend in the heat of war
Bhishma's valor remembered evermore
With arrows like rain he met his fate
A sacrifice made for the kingdom's state
