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
