King - Van Canto

The night is about to fall

'Never surrender' - I still hear them call

Images (are) passing by

I must watch him waving a last goodbye

It’s not that he’s gone away

It’s the secure feeling he will not stay

A wanderer leaving the land

He once had entered to rise again

Thousands cry

Until the blood runs low

They make the river flow

That he’ll sail on

Are we that alone?

The king is leaving

Off to a land unknown

And though I’m wondering why

The king has left

The spirit we now call our own

He lit up our life!

1000 days passed by

From the very moment he stepped into our lives

Words were not his deal

What he brought to us is the power to feel

The power to believe

The power to walk on, the power to see

To determine wrong from right

The power to check out the step from dark to light

Sometimes I’m even more afraid

Of times beyond the gates of now

Remembering his glory

Pounds my will onto the ground

Can you hear us cry?

Can you see our kingdom die?

No!

Now for me it’s plain to see

That everything I want to be

Can be done by holding on

In hard and gruelling times

We are rising high
