I’m only a soldier and I’m scared,
I have to slog through the city; full of hate.
With no respect; ... no respect.
I'm charging a gun until the nightfall will come,
and I see vultures hover over the town.
Cartridge cases are under my feet; dangerous in mind.
Dead masses waiting on their marching orders;
There's an evil, we called it War.
Breaking my heart; ... but how far?
I'm swimming in the Bay of Pigs, bursting with lies.
Crimson rivers are flowing through my dirty hands,
and I feel bodies of my dead friends.
Ohh it's too late, the nightmare of war is hunting us.
I don't want to die.
I'm in a bind; ... in a bind.
I'm trying to look for you, my beautiful land,
without effect; ... without effect.
This is the last time when I saw you in my mind.
I can't do it anymore; I can't do it tonight;
Should I see the pain in their eyes?
should I see the sorrow in their life?
Killing people for my native land, that is my suffering?
Dear God, or whatever you are; is this what you want from me?
Who could answer me... you should.
Finally,
I found a pathway which is quite sedate.
Like never-ending grassy highway under star-studded sky.
Ohh the night is so beautiful, so I'm closing my eyes.
To feel the heaven; ...just flee from reality.
You should go to heaven; then you'll have safety
