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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus:]

Ohh, after the war.
