Into the West

Burning down all the bridges

Leaving all the past behind

Heading for a new horizon

The promised land to find

Hope in our hearts,

'cause the promised land is coming

Agony from the start

But a light is shining through

Into the west, countless lonely graves

Flanking our ways on the trail of no return

Into the west, we cut off the past

It's "death or glory" at last,

Into the west

We join the mighty trail

Just straight into the west

It's a ride of deprivation

Putting us to the test

Wild rain and cholera

No water, deadly too

Wide plains and starvation

Is what we are going through

Hope in our hearts,

'cause the promised land is coming

Agony from the start

But a light is shining through

Into the west, countless lonely graves

Flanking our ways on the trail of no return

Into the west, we cut off the past

It's "death or glory" at last,

Into the west

After all this pain and loss

Destination right at hand

Too many lonely graves

But we found the promised land

Hope in our hearts,

'cause the promised land is coming

Agony from the start

But a light is shining through

Into the west, countless lonely graves

Flanking our ways on the trail of no return

Into the west, we cut off the past

It's "death or glory" at last,

Into the west
