The night's about to fall   "Never surrender" I still hear them call   Images passing by   I must watch him waving a last goodbye      It's not that he's gone away   It's the secure feeling he will not stay   A wanderer leaving the land   He once had entered to rise again      Thousands cry   Until the blood runs low   They make the river flow   That he'll sail on   Are we that alone?      The king is leaving   Off to a land unknown   Though I'm wondering why   The king has left   The spirit we call our own   He lit up our life   He lit up our life      1000 days passed by   From the very moment he stepped into our lives   Words were not his deal   What he brought to us is the power to feel      The power to believe   The power to walk on, the power to see   To determine wrong from right   The power to check out the step from dark to light      Sometimes I'm even more afraid   Of times beyond the gates of now   Remembering his glory   Pounds my will onto the ground      Can you hear us cry?   Can you see our kingdom die?   No      Now for me it's plain to see   That everything I want to be   Can be done by holding on   In hard and gruelling times   We are rising high      The king is leaving   Off to a land unknown   Though I'm wondering why   The king has left   The spirit we call our own   He lit up our life   He lit up our life      The king is leaving   Off to a land unknown   Though I'm wondering why   The king has left   The spirit we call our own   He lit up our life
