Never-ending Story

Armies have conquered And fallen in the end Kingdoms have risen Then buried by sand The earth is our mother She gives and she takes She puts us to sleep and In her light we'll awake We'll all be forgotten There's no endless fame But everything we do It's never in vain We're part of a story Part of a tale We're all on this journey No one's to stay Where is it going What is the way Forests and deserts Rivers, blue seas Mountains and valleys Nothing here stays While we think we witness We're part of the scene This never-ending story Where will it lead to The earth is our mother She gives and she takes But she is also a part A part of the tale We're part of a story Part of a tale We're all on this journey No one's to stay Where is it going What is the way We're part of a story Part of a tale Sometimes beautiful Sometimes insane No one remembers how it began We're part of a story Part of a tale We're all on this journey No one's to stay Where is it going What is the way We're part of a story Part of a tale Sometimes beautiful Sometimes insane No one remembers how it began --- Never-Ending Story - Within Temptation
