The Last Mile Lyrics


After the battle

At the end of the war

We were forgotten

Left for dead on a distant shore

We stood together

Through blood and fire and sweat

But those bitter trials, brother

They're not over yet

Over mountains, cross the ocean

We will find our way home

Do you remember the words you once said,

Before this heart was broken

Before this blood was shed?

Although the future is shrouded in the mist

You can at least be sure of this:

We'll walk side by side

Heads held high as we go

If we die tonight,

then we won't die alone

I'll stand beside you until the end

When your worst enemy is you

I will be your friend

If you're cursed with blindness

Then I will be your sight

When the shadows fall on you

Then I will be your light

Over mountains, cross the ocean

We will find our way home

Oh yes, we're wary, but we're far from dead

I still remember

When you turned to me and said.

Although our victory is shrouded in the mist

You can at least be sure of this:

We'll walk side by side

Heads held high as we go

If we die tonight, then we won't die alone

They say that the last mile

You must walk alone

But if you all in darkness, I'll carry you home.
