lyrics

This is the end
Here I stand
Playing this betting game
The song it is sung
The work it is done
A new life has begun

The world can crumble
Overnight
The soldiers come home
Before their fight
Lovers embrace
Loners encounter in the street again

The past is over, it is now
Your voice still matters, say it loud
If you are weary, lay down your heavy load to me
When you go

Uncanny distress
In your head
But sometimes you can take a rest
Everyone knows
Where the stream will flow
If the story remains untold

You can carry the news
To the shaky graves
Or leave them stranded
Waiting to be saved
The chimes of freedom
Linger for a while in the street again

The past is over, it is now
Your voice still matters, say it loud
If you are weary, lay down your heavy load to me
When you go

I'm back on the hill
Where the winds are still
There's nothing else to conceal
Face what you love
Love what you face
There's no way to escape

The weeds are trampled
The crops are reaped
Between the two sides
There's a ship
With the flag of glory
Fluttering in the hurricane my friend

The past is over, it is now
Your voice still matters, say it loud
If you are weary, lay down your heavy load to me
When you go
