After the War

I saw the shadow decline
In another world, another time
Reflecting battles full of fear
(So) far away from home
Death has been near

I fought for liberty and faith
For survival of our race
The toll of blood it has been high
The dead will never see again
The sun up in the sky

I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong
I will be
Be with you after this war
After this war

What I saw beyond the gate
Eternal darkness - our fate
In everlasting night
Deserted and destroyed
An empire without light

The flame of hope kept me alive
The iron will survive
I did the things I had to do
And in my very soul
I've always been with you

I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong
I will be
Be with you after this war
After this war

I had to leave it all behind
On my way to the other side
What to find?

(I had to go) I had to go
(Into the unknown) Intp the unknown
(Through all my fear) Through all my fear
(You have been here)
Here in my heart

I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong
I will be
Be with you after this war
After this war

Ohh, after the war
