Excelsis

It is the end of your penitence
It is the end of your sadness and pain
It's the return to your innocence
It is the end of a life grieved in vain

Everybody leaves one day
I know it hurts
Everybody goes away
You will, too, I will, too

Come with me to the rainbow's end
Come with me to the Holy Land
Come with me
You will, too, I will, too
Excel (aah), excel (aah)

There is still time for deliverance
There is still time to make peace with your friend
And to return to where there's a chance
There is still time to love once again

Everybody leaves one day
I know it hurts
Everybody goes away
You will, too, I will, too

Come with me to the rainbow's end
Come with me to the Holy Land
Come with me
You will, too, I will, too
Excel (aah), excel (aah)

As levees are breaking
A flood comes
Washes away all the rubble
Past indiscretions and stalemates
We are all sailing to the gates

Everybody leaves one day
I know it hurts
Everybody goes away
You will, too, I will, too

Come with me to the rainbow's end
Come with me to the Holy Land
Come with me
You will, too, I will, too
Excel (aah), excel (aah), excel (aah), excel (aah)

This is the end of the avenue
I am afraid of eternity, too
