You think you're strong enough
To kill another man,
You think you know all about war
From the TV screen.
You grow in confidence
With the cold touch of your gun,
You saw it in your dreams
you being brave enough.
You know this day will come
you'll taste a foreign ground,
Dry sand will blow in your eyes
Every breath could be your last.
Somewhere on barren land
With an open shotgun wound,
You will find the way in your life
With the wisdom of hindsight.
Your face,
fake smile,
your grief,
won't die.
Set your face against decay
Our life is marked by grief and pain
Hearts go wild with no end in sight.
You think this world is made
Only for sturdy men,
You won't shed any tears
Over dying weak-kneed kings.
Every day you say a prayer
With close wall around your heart,
You must do it for yourself
Find the space in your inside.
In the fortress of your life
No-one can cross the line,
It's hard to live without
Love and intimate stuff.
When you create your cage
In the vacuum of your life,
You deny happiness
To you and someone else.
Your face,
fake smile,
your grief,
won't die.
Set your face against decay
Our life is marked by grief and pain
Hearts go wild with no end in sight.
