Once We Were

[Verse 1]
Once we were
In our peace
With our lives assured
Once we were
Not afraid of the dark
Once we sat in our kingdom
With hope and pride
Once we ran through
The fields with great strides

[Chorus]
We held the Fade
And the demon's flight
So far from our children
And from our lives
We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way of life

[Verse 2]
Once we raised
Up our chalice
In victory
Once we sat
In the light of our dreams
Once we were
In our homeland
With strength and might
Once we were
Not afraid of the night

[Chorus]
We held the Fade
And the demon’s flight
So far from our children
And from our lives
We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way of life
