Letters To Home - Swan Songs III Version

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 goodbye
 But not farewell, my little boy
 Say goodbye
 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
 ♪
 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 no harm
 And my heart bleeds for you
 If I'm not there when you learn to fall
 Oh, oh, 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
 Oh, oh, I'm sorry for
 Oh, oh, 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
 ♪
 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, devastated
 ♪
 Body parts are shredding
 Firestorms 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?
 ♪
 I feel so cold, but still I'm able to feel
 I see no colours, 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
 ♪
 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
 Oh, 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 winds of blankness, I'm going astray
 I'm going under, I'm losing my way
 I'm freely falling, I'm going astray
