[Instrumental] A strange melancholy descends upon my soul For those who marched to war and never returned Not fallin on foreign soil, their bodies broken But transformed into pale, silent cranes, forever lost Evermore, I hear the mournful cries of those cranes Their lament echoing in the landscape of my heart A deep remembrance fills my eyes, blurring the world around me As I gaze towards the heavens, searching for you Hmmm-mmm-hmmm-hmmm The cranes ascend, towards a distant shore in the sky Reflecting a mirror of my own lost band of brothers And I believe, my love, those very cranes carried you away When you departed this world, leaving me behind Thus, I cling to this fragile hope, your ember in the darkness Carrying you within me, my beacon in the night. My path shall one day follow yours too And then, my love, never shall we be alone again Hmmm-mmm-hmmm-hmmm [Guitar solo - imagine a haunting melody, filled with longing and sorrow, echoing through the emptiness] So I cherish this fragile hope, your whisper in the wind Holding it close, my constant companion on my winding road My path shall one day follow yours too And then, my love, never shall we be alone again Hmmm-mmm-hmmm-hmmm [Fade to silence]
