A Thousand Letters

A last embrace, last words to say
Before the whole war took their fate away
Before to kill became his forced task
And bleeding fields were covered with sins
His wounded heart is crying out for home

Away, away, my love
To where all darkness will be gone
Away, away to our land
Where you will be forever in my arms again

Days of dust, of cruelty and death
Broke his soul until there was nothing left
Only her love that carried him through all

Away, away, my love
To where all darkness will be gone
Away, away to our land
Where you will be forever in my arms again

He passed high mountains and rough rivers
He wrote a thousand letters to be near
He walked a thousand miles
Just to see her smile again
Just for returning home

Away, away, my love
To where all darkness will be gone
Away, away to our land
Where you will be forever in my arms again

Tell the wind I'll survive
Just to feel you again
I will fight til the end
To lay my promised love
Forever in your hands
