Be gone ! Autumn leaves are falling down from the everlasting tree They are dancing, carried by a sudden breeze Runaway ! Memories are flowing out of a hole inside of me As the world around, it seems, begins to freeze Be gone ! Autumn leaves are stained with blood, arrogance and irony I am limping through the woods where I was born Runaway ! Shedding tears is now too late, cause we were too blind to see That our glorious forest was to be forlorn Now go The ghosts of war are now covering the sky Why can’t I Go ! I Hear them march The ship is here My time as come to leave this world There is not much to leave behind An empire of fallen leaves Be gone ! Only pride could lead us to such a bitter tragedy Sparing no one of those who would like to stay Runaway ! Make my way back to the shore where my father waits for me Like them all, he’d leave his land, for one more day Now go The ghosts of war are now co-ver-ing the sky Why can’t I Go ! I Hear them march The ship is here My time as come to leave this world There is not much to leave be-hind An empire of fallen leaves I shall leave, then if it is your wish You would remain alone, roaming in a forest of despair for eternity The flame of bygone times would fade like hope But if I do no longer belong in these lands… Then neither do you Please, please come with me Come And take my hand The ship is here The time has come to leave this world Our motherland has now become An empire of fallen leaves Come And take my hand The ship is here The time has come to leave this world Our motherland has now become An empire of fallen leaves
