As the great war is over and lost
He’s been wounded in war,
he returns with awards
Into battle again far from home
From a far distant land,
our marshal command.
Home, siblings sent to their death
His wife paid the ultimate price
Still, as the war rages on
You are our guide
Far, far from the fame
Far, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name
Karel Janouąek
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia’s pride
When the war has been fought and been won
Our marshal returns, to be thrown into jail
Facing torture and years behind bars
When he’s finally back, life in ivory black
Home, siblings sent to their death
His wife paid the ultimate price
Still, as the war rages on
You are our guide
Far, far from the fame
Far, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name
Karel Janouąek
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia’s pride
Far, far from the fame
Far, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name
Karel Janouąek
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia’s pride
Far, far from the fame
Far, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name
Karel Janouąek
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia’s pride

Na albumie „Heroes” z 2014 roku nie mogło zabraknąć historii czechosłowackiego pilota Karela Janouąka. W czasie II wojny światowej dowodził Czechosłowackimi Siłami Powietrznymi, które uczestniczyły w walkach powietrznych w czasie kampanii francuskiej, a następnie w bitwie o Anglię. Losy Janouąka są wspólne dla wielu żołnierzy koalicji alianckiej, którzy po upadku swojej ojczyzny zdecydowali się nadal walczyć z Niemcami. Muzyka do utworu „Far from the fame” powstała we współpracy Joakima Brodéna i Pära Sundströma, słowa napisał Brodén.
