I see the lands I never called my own, And names I lost, like seeds the storm has blown. A mother’s voice I almost knew, Drifts soft across the evening blue, But I was taken by the winter tide, A wolf among the northern cries. [Pre‑Chorus] In every flame I see my home, In every prayer I stand alone. [Build-up ] [Chorus] Tears for the ones I’ll never be, Falling like rain on the endless sea. Between the raven and the cross I stand, Broken by the fire of both my lands. Oh, the longing burns in silence deep— These tears, idle tears, are all I keep (all I keep) [Orchestral Interlude] [Verse 2] They called me brother by the oar, I learned to fight, but lost the shore. No crown, no king can set me free, Two hearts divide the man in me. [Bridge ] (If I return, will they know my name?) (Or curse the heart that lit their flame?) Whichever side the sword may claim, It cuts the man who bears the shame. [Final Chorus Tears for the light I’ll never see, Bound by the ghosts that live in me. Between the fire and faith I stand, Dreaming of my father’s land. Oh, the longing burns in silence deep— These tears, idle tears, are all I keep ohhh........ ohhh........ (These tears are all I keep [Outro [End]
