Morning and the day's beginning
And I leave my home
My heart is breaking
My youth is long past

Night and I am alone
Endless deep black skies
Remembering days that were
Without want and without gloom
I listen to the wind
Great loneliness forever, endless

The end of the long journey
I am sad, sorrowful and broken
After me there will be no more
But children, it is our destiny
But children, it is our destiny

The day is long past
When I left my home
There is no hope in my heart
There is only death
There is only death
