I fought a thousand battle, I have heard a million calls By the leaders I have followed without tribute or rewards A lonely shilpit soldier, lost my friends and all I've got And my gaze at the horizon shows me sorrow, tears and mud In the darkness I am lost and on my own Will I find the unholy path to take me home I am howling with the wind And I am flying across the lightning Friends, I'm coming home again I keep on rising across the lightning A winter storm is brewing, fills the fields of war with snow I see those bygone shadows from the ones i used to know Where will my journey take me, it begins with crucial pain Will my crimes be all forgotten, washed away my bloody rain In the darkness I am lost and on my own Will I find the unholy path to take me home I am howling with the wind And I am flying across the lightning Friends, I'm coming home again I keep on rising across the lightning I'm flying high above the land All I can see is cursed and damned Nowhere to go, where is my hope to carry on? I am howling with the wind And I am flying across the lightning Friends, I'm coming home again I keep on rising across the lightning
