Part I: Leaving home It was a sunny day When you learned to stand up So proud and oh so brave You made those tiny steps Right into my arms The day I went away They said I had to leave For glory and for peace For honour and for boon It won't be long until Our enemies are banned They take me back home soon Say good bye but not farewell My little boy Say good bye and don't you cry My little boy It was a sunny day When I learned to stand up So fearful and afraid I held you in my arms So warm and so alive The day I went away They said I had to leave For glory and for peace For honour and for boon It won't be long until Our enemies are banned They take me back home soon Your picture in my heart Will give me will and strength And help me to hold out I'll save the world for you My little boy I'll save the world for you The winds of darkness will take me away On wings of blankness I'm going astray I'm going under I'm losing my way I'm freely falling I'm going astray Part II: Into the killing fields We're losing time The days go by I feel the anger rising high The days and weeks and months go by We're lost in time No foes in sight Do you sometimes think of me Do you remember me Standing at your side when You learned to crawl I have meant to harm And my heart bleeds for you If I'm not there when You learn to fall I'm sorry for We're losing time The years go by I feel the hatred rising high Eternities and times go by We're lost in time We're lost Do you sometimes think of me Do you remember me Standing at your side when you learned to squeak I'm with you all the time Although you couldn't see My heart was there when you learned to speak I'm sorry for – I'm sorry for I would give all the world to hear your Sweet voice again I would give all the world to hear you Say your own name Maybe I can leave Maybe they'll let me go Right into your arms I might be coming home It might be over now But I already feel The calm before the storm Part III: When the bombs are falling When the bombs are falling Down the earth is breaking Bullets cut the air around My head is shaking Splinters all around The air is burning I see blood, bones, guts, skin Faith, love, devestated Body parts are shredding Fire storms are raging Shrapnels tear our souls apart We're overtaking Love with hate and death Explosions take our breath We're blind, deaf, black, cold Never be the same again No one survived Am I the only one who's left? Nobody is alive Am I the only one to crawl back home? Part IV: The day after I feel so cold but still I'm able to feel I see no colors but still I'm able to see I feel like floating but I am still in my shoes My feet will carry me right back to you Part V: Advent It was a sunny day When I learned to stand up With scars and broken bones I made those tiny steps Back into your arms That you won't be alone I can't wait to see you smile Your little heart beat next to mine And kiss away your tears The skyline feels like home I can smell the scent Of flowers so well known Now I can see you from afar Look how tall you are Will you remember who I am? I'm calling out your name But you don't seem to hear I'm calling out your name again Now I stand in front of you You look straight through me like air I'm reaching out my hand Now I can see you smile Standing up and run into The arms of this strange man The winds of darkness will take me away On wings of blankness I'm going astray I'm going under – I'm losing my way I'm freely falling – I'm going astray
