After The War Lyrics

[The war is over and the warrior returns to where he belongs...][Jan:]
I saw the shadow decline
In another world, another time
Reflecting battles full of fear
So far away from home
Death has been near[Piet:]
I fought for liberty and faith
For survival of our race
The toll of blood it has been high
The dead will never see again
The sun up in the sky[Both:]
I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong
I will be
Be with you after this war
After this war[Jan:]
What I saw beyond the gate

Eternal darkness - our fate
In everlasting night
Deserted and destroyed
An empire without light[Piet:]
The flame of hope kept me alive
The iron will survive
I did the things I had to do
And in my very soul
I've always been with you[Both:]
I will return...I had to leave it all behind
On my way to the other side
What to find ?I had to go
Into the unknown
Through all my fear
You have been here
Here in my heart[Solo Piet]I will return...
Ohh, after the war
