lyrics

Verse:
Once I took a trip down in my mind beneath the
highway of the night
I walked beside a river and a mountain rising
high into the sky
Step by step the wilderness kept calling me
And lured me in its arms
I turned around to see the burning wastelands
of what used to be my life

Chorus:
The war we've left behind
It doesn't matter much at all
The war we've left behind
It doesn't matter anymore
Everything must be this way
Everything is as its meant to be

Verse:
All my life in troubled times I turned my head
towards the distant moon
I never saw the beasts - as its LIGHT has kept
them hidden in the dark
But then the moon had disappeared and hid
behind the mountain far away
I sat down at an old ash tree as creatures
whispered sweetly to my ears

Chorus:
The war we've left behind
It doesn't matter much at all
The war we've left behind
It doesn't matter anymore
Everything must be this way
Everything is as its meant to be
Epic Breakdown Madness:
Be the mountain
Be the sun
Be the river

Post-Chorus:
The morning light awakes me and the mountain
holds his guard above my head
I'm coming back to you but now I turn my face
towards the distant sun
