That'll be the end
Of the road
When my ---- ---- body and soul will...go home

That'll be the end
Of the war
When we finally lay down the barrel and the blade (?)
And go home

By the sea
So wide and treacherous
By the land
So dark and dangerous
How can we have so far to go?

That'll be the end
Of the Lord
Of Bible, Quran, Torah
Lost and gone

And the sea
So wide and treacherous
And the land
So dark and dangerous
How can we have so far to go?

That'll be the end
Of arms stretched wide
Of begging for ----
Of emptiness inside

And sea
So wide and treacherous
And the land
So dark and dangerous
So far left behind

That'll be the end
Of the war
When we finally lay down the barrel and the blade (?)
And go home
