After The War Lyrics

After The War

[Music by Eckert/Sielck ú Words by Eckert/Sielck]



[The war is over and the warrior returns to where he belongs...]



[Jan:]

I saw the shadow decline

In another world, another time

Reflecting battles full of fear

So far away from home

Death has been near



[Piet:]

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



[Both:]

I will return

Return to where I belong

Where I belong

I will be

Be with you after this war

After this war



[Jan:]

What I saw beyond the gate

Eternal darkness - our fate

In everlasting night

Deserted and destroyed

An empire without light



[Piet:]

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



[Both:]

I will return...



I had to leave it all behind

On my way to the other side

What to find ?



I had to go

Into the unknown

Through all my fear

You have been here

Here in my heart



[Solo Piet]



I will return...

Ohh, after the war
