Lyrics Van Canto – King
Text:
The night is about to fall
‘Never surrender’ — I still hear them call
Images (are) 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
And though I’m wondering why
The king has left
The spirit we now call our own
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
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
