Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I can fly
Like a white bird
In the sky forever
And I want the earth
I like this world
I want it forever
The night is long
I'm alone
I want to go home
[Pre-Chorus]
You remember
Sometimes I surrender
'Cause I'm afraid
And the dream of my life
Is to fly, yes I'm free
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And all is dark around me
I see the moon in the sky
My heart is full of pain
My heart is burning for this war
And I am dying for my world
[Verse 2]
And I whisper
With this world
I don't wanna die
There's a place
In the land of lords
Where the war doesn't live
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want it
Across the sky
You'll see the light
I have a big name
And if you want my life
You'll me in the sky
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And all is dark around me
I see the moon in the sky
My heart is full of pain
My heart is burning for this war
And I am dying for my war
When the night comes down
And all is dark around me
I see the moon in the sky
My heart is full of pain
My heart is burning for this war
And I am dying for my world
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And all is dark around me
I see the moon in the sky
My heart is full of pain
My heart is burning for this war
And I am dying for my war
