Pa** through borders into east And you'll see the same old streets Sweeping winds into your eyes Broken future, wasted lives In the corner of that square Crumbling statues now lie there Like those relics of the past All of us are now outcast The time was on our side When everyone had their place Fly away - fly into a time gone by Fly away - and you hope it will return Once I had an open mind and time to understand But every time I had to lie to serve the native Land, while we try to justify the madness and the wars, they will come with newer guns And fewer ways to help the poor Now the leaders come and go, they close up the gates and doors we made, for one moment we were free... Now our future bright is the past and we close our minds to make them last While waiting we bow our heads and pray... Through your life you toiled the land and you served the state with pride, now you're left with empty hands and nobody by your side "Everlasting peace awaits, a paradise with pearly gates", so they told you all your days Made your sacrifice your ways The time was on your side When everyone shared your fate Fly away - fly into a time gone by Fly away - and you hope it will return
