Blackmore's Night March The Heroes Home Lyrics

I sing the praise of honored wars
Of glory and of kings
The bravery of soldiers
The joy that peace can bring

The captains on their way home
The ribbons on their chests
They've packed away the firearms
The trumpets lay to rest

They've taken in the battlefields
With one last weary breath
And set their sights on something new
While there's still something left

The poets and the dreamers
Thank the stars above
For leaving hatred in the dust
And bringing back the love

Over land and over sea
March the heroes home
For the faithful, for the free
March the heroes home

We'll be waiting when you
March the heroes home
All the night and day through
March the heroes home

The flowers laughing in the fields
Boast colors bright and new
A hint of freedom in the air
The chimes are ringing true

They're bringing in the New Year
And ringing out the old
Beckoning the springtime
Though winter winds blow cold

Over land and over sea
March the heroes home
For the faithful, for the free
March the heroes home

We'll be waiting when you
March the heroes home
All the night and day through
March the heroes home

March the heroes home
March the heroes home
March the heroes home
March the heroes home

I sing the praise of honored wars
Of glory and of kings
