Even though Gil Galad died, Vilya kept its power because it was not tied to the life force of its bearer.
And I know it has some poetic sense in it, but it has to do something with the remaining elves on M.E. The other quotes that go after the description of the other groups of rings mean something about the races that hold them.
"for men, who above all desire power"
etc.
