So did VI die or something?
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel

Just a friendly survival tip from your local Grammar Gestapo: It should be "Thou hast returned", not "Thy hath returnth". ;)

Yes, I noted. I just didn't want to ruin the party by having to tell him that "I have returned" is the exact same in Early Modern English. :)

It'd be a different thing in Old English, of course. I'd guess at "Ic eom gegncumen", but even I am not quite so hardcore as to be able to reconstruct it idiomatically.

Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love The trains I hop To be part of The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to
