Slechtvalk - Homebound lyrics
[Slechtvalk - Homebound lyrics]
The war drove our army south
To fight an invincible foe
We were left without a choice
But it was our only hope
Fight now, Fight hard
Fight till the very end!
Our hopes were dashed when
Our flanks were crushed
Our blood turned stale and cold when
We faced the giants of old
Fight now, Fight hard
Fight till the bitter end!
And now we're returning home to
The lands of our fathers
Where up high in the clear blue
Sky the glorious falcons fly
We'll find last solace in the
Arms of our beloved wives
Just to see our children cry when we lay down
Although our fates were sealed and
Our dreams lie shattered
By the poison that courses through our veins
We burned the bridge on our retreat
To buy the time we need our only hope is
(that) our efforts were not in vain
Yet our fate was cruel to us as
The fire spread to the forest nearby
In our haste to delay our enemy
The enemies' advance we've brought
Our country to ruin
And now we're returning home to
The lands of our fathers
Where up high in the clear blue
Sky the glorious falcons fly
We'll find last solace in the
Arms of our beloved wives
Just to see our children cry when
We lay down to die
By our blood and lives
Our families are spared
To set sail towards the distant shores
Of the lands to the north
To fight an invincible foe
We were left without a choice
But it was our only hope
Fight now, Fight hard
Fight till the very end!
Our hopes were dashed when
Our flanks were crushed
Our blood turned stale and cold when
We faced the giants of old
Fight now, Fight hard
Fight till the bitter end!
And now we're returning home to
The lands of our fathers
Where up high in the clear blue
Sky the glorious falcons fly
We'll find last solace in the
Arms of our beloved wives
Just to see our children cry when we lay down
Although our fates were sealed and
Our dreams lie shattered
By the poison that courses through our veins
We burned the bridge on our retreat
To buy the time we need our only hope is
(that) our efforts were not in vain
Yet our fate was cruel to us as
The fire spread to the forest nearby
In our haste to delay our enemy
The enemies' advance we've brought
Our country to ruin
And now we're returning home to
The lands of our fathers
Where up high in the clear blue
Sky the glorious falcons fly
We'll find last solace in the
Arms of our beloved wives
Just to see our children cry when
We lay down to die
By our blood and lives
Our families are spared
To set sail towards the distant shores
Of the lands to the north
