When the lights are finally gone Your spirit still shines on and on We share the dream we used to dream I see your face in a glancing gleam ♪ When we finally have returned Is there a lesson to be learned That nothing lasts for more than haze So why live on in such a pace Now, now that you're gone Your light shines on And we'll never hesitate no more Day follows night We still feel forlorn Till we lose ourselves in your beautiful light Where the winds blow wild and cold Where our story's still untold There is a place without a light There is all hope long out of sight But still our road leads straight ahead And when our thoughts are more than sad There is your glimpse from far away That turns this night into day Now, now that you're gone Your light shines on And we'll never hesitate no more Day follows night We still feel forlorn Till we lose ourselves in your beautiful light ♪ When the lights turn on we're craving to begin A thousand souls rush in, committed to join in And finally we hear your chant, it sounds so vigorous and free Please never change You are the ones, our light you're meant to be We'll never wander alone in the darkness For you are united and strong at our side Embrace and entwine, our road leads us forward As we journey onward to the end of all time Now, now that you're gone Your light shines on And we'll never hesitate no more Day follows night We still feel forlorn Till we lose ourselves in your beautiful light ♪ Now that years have passed we meet again Memories, all that ever will remain We smile while we think back to these precious years A smile that wipes and dries away all tears for good
