• On towards the plains
    The direction of the moon
    But do I have to leave the ones I love
    All too soon?
    I turn to say goodbye
    To all the ones I know
    My girl asks me why
    And I say, "It's my time to go."
    My girl holds her head
    Her eyes full of tears
    The burning of the town she knows
    The death of all she fears
    She tells me she knows
    I won't be coming back
    She tells me she knew
    Even before I packed
    I tell her that rest was assured
    Her mother will take it from here
    But she hugs me saying
    That I'm what she holds most dear
    I hug her tight
    And say it's time for bed
    I tremble as I lay a kiss
    On top of her head
    I knew somewhere in the snow
    I'm going to lie
    No one near my body
    As it lays to die
    So now it's on towards the plains
    The direction of the moon
    So I can die for the ones I love
    Way too soon
