Burning down all the bridges Leaving all the past behind Heading for a new horizon The promised land to find
[Pre:] Hope in our hearts, 'cause the promised land is coming Agony from the start But a light is shining through
[Chorus:] 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
[Pre / Chorus ]
After all this pain and loss Destination right at hand Too many lonely graves But we found the promised land
