Snow is falling down on this glorious land Colors fading, turning into white again To fallen heroes angels sting, they cry their winter tears Endless mourning days will turn to years So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now Nothing on earth stays forever But none of your deeds were in vain Deep in our hearts you will live again You're gone to the home of the brave Every solemn moment I will treasure inside Even though it's hard to understand That a silent wind can blow that candle out Taking everything leaving the pain far behind You call out my name, but your voice is fading Into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now, fly away now Nothing on earth stays forever But none of your deeds were in vain Deep in our hearts you will live again You're gone to the home of the brave My eyes are closed I feel you're faraway (so close) Far beyond that shining star I know you'll find what you've been fighting for Far beyond that shining star Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these souls Make 'em live forever in the heart of the bold So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again When my time has come to fall from the grace So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now Nothing on earth stays forever But none of your deeds were in vain Deep in our hearts you will live again You're gone to the home of the brave
