Now you will go
Where I cannot follow
My time is short
And I will live it to the full.When death will come, my brother,
Do not grieve me
She will not be
A stranger when she comes
She will come to me
A friend, a lover
And take me home
Where I was meant to be.But you will go
Where I can never follow
Into the west
And there you will be at peace*~*
You will leave me here
Brother dearest.
To stand alone
In this emerging world
The hope I felt
Upon the wars ceasing
Has grown to dust
And dirt and hurt and griefYou stand before me calmly
Always smiling
And dig the dagger
Deep into my chest.
Should I rejoice now
In the path you chosen?
You say farewell
When life has just begun.*~*
The tide is turning
Soon the ship is sailing
And I must go
Just as you must stay
So kiss my cheek
Embrace me now, my brother
This is the last
Farewell for you and me.
