After The War Lyrics - Iron Savior

[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
