[Verse 1] I came out to the desert
To find what I lost in your eyes
I filled my lungs with the sunset
And walked out into the night

[Verse 2] I am a wandering soldier
In this dusty land
Nothing but the torn clothes on my back
And the empty barrel in my hand

[Chorus 1] Onwards, broken-hearted soldier
Into the great unknown
Lay down your weapons and follow
Into the light of the sun

[Verse 3] When I couldn't walk any further
I fell to my knees to pray
With my final breath I cried out
In the blowing wind I heard you say…

[Chorus 2] "Onwards, onwards good soldier
Into the great unknown
Hear the golden trumpets sounding
Calling the tired soldiers home"

[Interlude] [Chorus 1] Onwards, broken-hearted soldier
Into the great unknown
Lay down your weapons and follow
Into the light of the sun

[Chorus 2] Onwards, onwards good soldier
Into the great unknown
Hear the golden trumpets sounding
Calling the tired soldiers home"

[Verse 1] I came out to the desert
To find what I lost in your eyes
I filled my lungs with the sunset
And walked out into the night
