Pass through borders into east and you'll see the
Same old streets, sweeping winds into your eyes
Broken future, wasted lives, in the corner of that
Square, crumbling statues now lie there
Like those relics of the past all of us are now
Outcast

The time was on our side
When everyone had their place

Fly away - fly into a time gone by
Fly away - and you hope it will return

Once I had an open mind and time to understand
But every time I had to lie to serve the native
Land, while we try to justify the madness and
the wars, they will come with newer guns
And fewer ways to help the poor

Now the leaders come and go, they close up the
gates and doors we made, for one moment we
were free...Now our future bright is the past
and we close our minds to make them last
While waiting we bow our heads and pray...

Through your life you toiled the land and you
served the state with pride, now you're left with
empty hands and nobody by your side
"Everlasting peace awaits, a paradise with pearly gates",
so they told you all your days
Made your sacrifice your ways

The time was on your side
When everyone shared your fate

Fly away - fly into a time gone by
Fly away - and you hope it will return
