Lyrics for 1919 (The Home Where I Died) (feat. Jerome Reuter)

The smell of coffee, fish and bread They just keep going round and round in my head The Red Vienna met me open-armed Thousands of voices that do not subside That city gave me feelings of those once-lost I ran these streets, tracing my past Seeking an address where they stayed To meet my daughter, hold my wife Words unspoken, words only I can hear Tears of anguish found their way For this very moment I had lived Fairytale I turned my eyes to my little girl In disbelief Was it real? She smiled at me And all my pain, all my fear Disappeared While I was a prisoner The Poles captured Lviv, now the Bolsheviks are trying to take Kyiv The war is on again, it never ends I met my brothers-in-arms who are leaving Vienna To stand up for battle in the ranks of the Ukrainian Galician Army To finally gain freedom for our country For our future For our children Embrace those who love you until the end Hold them close, don't let them go A quiet tear she tried to hide We stand together but I march alone My little girl reached out to me But duty called, as a flight of cranes With love as my armour, the Lord will be my guide I'm going back to Ukraine I'm going back to Ukraine The war that never ends The war that never ends The war that never ends The war that never ends
