Fly Away- Phoenix Army Ballad

As the great ones fight a war,
 
Out comes the sun and the moon who dance.
 
After the blood has been spilt,
 
We will know the one who stands.
 
 
Fly away, fly away,
 
Leave the dead where they fall.
 
Maybe you'll find the way,
 
And at last bring us home.
 
 
Our brothers and fathers die around us,
 
Our mothers cry mournfully.
 
We daughters are left behind,
 
Wondering what will become of our destiny.
 
 
Fly away, fly away,
 
Leave the dead where they fall.
 
Maybe you'll find the way,
 
And at last bring us home.
 
 
As the angels sing their praise,
 
Your soul will earn its place.
 
Among the gods in the sky,
 
So fly away, don't say goodbye.
 
 
Fly away, fly away,
 
Return us to our glory.
 
Our lives are no longer full of fear,
 
At last we've united with our families.
