They all emerged one by one
Hoping for freedom, but there is none
See the men in uniform
They send you out to fight the storm
Look up in the charcoal sky
Want to see the sun before you die
So please tell me what happened here
All the love is replaced by fear
An unknown soldier without a face
Went back home in a wooden case
He was a hero for just one day
Now his body floats in the bay
They only wish to forget
All they can do is regret
So please tell me what happened here
All the love is replaced by fear
chorus:
Let past matters fade to shadows
Our future shall begin
When we are walking down the meadow
We will deplore our sins
