I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun And I know you'll be the first to welcome me When I climb into eternity Oh, oh...
The forest always kept us warm But it doesn't feel like home anymore And I know there's bigger mountains where you are And a better climate for my heart Oh, oh...
Chorus: I've been racing the clock And I've run out of steam I am ready for my final symphony Oh my body is weak But my soul is still strong I am ready to rest in your arms
Though many battles I have won I lost too many friends I could count on And I know, they'll be the first to welcome me When I parachute into eternity Oh, oh...
Chorus
And the rain beat down on the rooftops But there was no sound There was no sound And all my friends and family carried me They carried me home Carried me home
