Disclaimer: I do not own Redwall nor it's characters.
Note: Ok, let me explain this piece of writing. This is actually a song that I wrote in respect to Martin and Rose. Where it says (Whispered voices, Rose or Martin) those are actually two poems that I made up that I wanted to go into the song. So basically if you read all the (Whispered voice of Rose) you'll fine one of my poems called Together and if you read Martin's you'll find my poem Everlasting. The other stanzas are the actual song itself. This takes place at the end of Martin's life.

Together Forever
(sung)
A winter breeze flew through the doors
The candles flickered on the wall
A creature walked onto the stone
The foundation of Redwall
His paws moved like an older beast
Who'd seen so many years and wars
As he stepped within the Abbey
He quickly shut the doors.
(Whispered voice of Martin)
I hear your song within my dreams
I listen to your voice
But when I wake I am alone
Being lonely is my choice
(Whispered voice of Rose)
Oh, my gentle Martin
Do not cry for me
Though I have been buried
My spirit now is free
(Sung)
Martin walked along the hallways
As little ones passed him by
They waved with cheeks of rosy pink
Not knowing the warrior would die
Martin's time had paid it's toll
He'd lived his full long life
And now it was his time to leave
And seek refuge from his strife
(Whispered voice of Martin)
I see the days with you and I
When you were there with me
But you were lost, so very young
When we set Marshank free
(Whispered voice of Rose)
My soul rests not in Noonvale
Nor in the land I died
My spirit roams in Redwall
And stays right by your side
(Sung)
He waved to friends that he had known
Throughout the seasoned years
Friends who fought right at his side
And hardly showed their fears
Martin knew his time was up
And yet he had to beam
For he would see his love again
Whom he'd only see in a dream
(Whispered voice of Martin)
The promise I made was broken
You died because of me
And now I'll never see you
Till I'm at the Forest, free
(Whispered voice of Rose)
Please, my lonely warrior
A promise you didn't break
Do not cry for me, my Martin
I rest now in your wake
(Sung)
The warriors life was now complete
And everything was in place
The sword was hidden, the poem was set
It was time to stop life's race.
He entered through his cozy room
And laid upon the cot
And then within an hour or so
His breath he soon forgot
(Whispered voice of Martin)
I look to the rose at spring time
It blooms and bares your name
But now that you are gone from me
Nothing shall be the same
(Whispered voice of Rose)
You have been my heart, oh Martin
To me you were so true
Although so many things will change
I'll always be with you
(Sung)
He traveled through his darkened mind
To a beam that glowed so bright
Then suddenly a song sang out
That brought him towards the light
A gate he knew loamed high above
And opened with a groan
And there before him stood his friends
Who through life he had known
(Whispered voice of Martin)
It pains my heart that you are gone
My feelings I never shared
But when you lived I couldn't say
How much I really cared
(Whispered voice of Rose)
Together we will be forever
We shall live side by side
Your are my love, oh Martin
You are my hope and pride
(Sung)
There in front stood Gonff the thief
Beside him was young Brome
Behind the mouse there was a squirrel
The famous one Felldoh
But Martin's eyes sought not his friends
For a voice he couldn't miss
Sung a song and touched his heart
Then filled his soul with bliss
(Whispered voice of Martin)
Now I wander the land alone
I'll wonder and I'll sigh
Why does my heart ache so much
Why Rose did you have to die
(Whispered voice of Rose)
Please don't cry for me, my Martin
Apartness lasts not forever
Here within the Dark Forest
We will be together.
(Sung)
Martin turned and looked into
A mousemaid's lovely eyes
And when he felt her touch his paw
He knew there were no goodbyes
The maiden smiled softly at him
Within his ear she did coo
Martin looked into her eyes
And said "I love you too"
(Whispered voice of Martin)
Though you're gone in darkness
I know you'll always be
Locked within my own heart
And everlasting free.
(Whispered voice of Rose)
Together
(Whispered voice of Both)
Forever
