Text: Blackmores Night. Village Lanterne.

Don't shed a tear for me, I stand alone
This path of destiny is all my own
Once in the hands of fate there is no choice
An echo on the wind, you'll hear my voice

Some choose to fall behind, some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path, laden with greed
But it?s the noble heart that makes you strong
And in that heart, I'm with you all along

The old village lanterne is calling me onward
Leading wherever I roam
The old village lanterne, a light in the dark
Bringing me closer to home

So when you think of me, do so with pride
Honor and bravery ruled by my side
And in your memory, I will remain

I will forever be within the flame

Now at the journey's end, we've traveled far
And all we have to show are battle scars
But in the love we shared, we will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends

Don't shed a tear for me, I stand alone
This path of destiny is all my own
Once in the hands of fate there is no choice
An echo on the wind, you'll hear my voice

You'll hear my voice, you'll hear my voice
You'll hear my voice
