lyrics

The living orchid you wear.
It blinds me with the understanding of my own poverty.
If their wells have run dry,
then must ours have dried too.

And the war. It is the only allowed for the invaders.
While defenders are driven into exiles in their own land.
Until all streets and every house is lost.
Once again we are in a stalemate, with our backs against the wall.
And face against another.
The speed of this horror was such, that it could just make liquid out of our thin air.

If you aren’t already in the new land,
then don’t even bother.
For you might get peppered by the people who made it to shore right before you.
I warned you not be young.
I warned you of ever growing old.
I warned you of ever falling ill.
We stand to win nothing more, but more of this road we see.

It’s the rain maybe…
But we all started to have the same dreams
Here in the sunset (of an entire Continent).
