Farewell Lyrics by Gamma Ray

Land of the Free

1995

[Verse 1: Kai Hansen]
Do you remember
How we used to play like kids in the sun?
Nowadays, there is no light to see
And we're feelin' cold
So, the time has come
To say farewell, my friends
My fate is calling loud
Now, I know—it can get tough
And I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
(Do you—do you wanna know it?)
I don't care about it
Somebody said that we could never, ever die
What a lie

[Pre-Chorus: Kai Hansen]
You will see the light again
We'll all be free someday
I know—'cause united we stand

[Chorus: Kai Hansen]
Goodbye, my friends, I'm leavin' you today
My quest is hard, but I must be on my way
Now, don't ask why
Goodbye, my friends

[Solo: Dirk Schlächter]

[Verse 2: Kai Hansen]
Don't you try to stop me
All I know is I have to go!
There'll be no sense in my life at all if I stay
(You will never see it—you will never find it)
Oh, yes, I will!
Someone will take my place if I die!

[Verse 3: Hansi Kürsch]
An old man said, some years ago:
"They've tried it all before
Some men of honor left
And searched for that land
(They did not return)
Now it's up to you
To play a better game
Remember, when you're out there
Don't look back at all!

[Refrain: Kai Hansen]
Goodbye, my friends
I'm leavin' you today
The quest is hard
I hope I'll find a way home one day

[Chorus: Kai Hansen]
Goodbye, my friends
I'm leavin' you today
The quest is hard
I know I'll find a way home one day
You will see the light of day
We'll all be free again
All that's left to say
Is farewell
