Listen
I tell you one thing
Something you know but
Don’t wanna trust in
Something you’re hiding
Something that scares you
Echoes in veins
You’ll not
Ever stop fighting
Ever stop hating
Being selfish
And no one takes the first step to another one

Look back
All that you’ve done was
Only your fault why
You blame your God
You pray
Ask him to heal you
Wait for his virtue
But he stays dumb
Trying
To learn what good is
To learn what God is
Ask for excuse
But all you hear is just your indistinct words and moans and never something more

Begging for release
We’re lying on the ground
We’re meant to live in peace
But the war is all around
Relying on our fate
We cease to hesitate
We were created to create
That’s what makes us cognate
With the God
Cruel God...
Silent God...

Can you hear us
We have to see that you forgive our sins
But you don’t
You keep silent
So we don’t know, we feel like all alone
But we must
Go on living
And do forget ourselves for all we’ve done
In the end
Of our long life
We’ll still be weak and playing hide and seek
With God

Begging for release
We’re lying on the ground
We’re meant to live in peace
But the war is all around
Relying on our fate
We cease to hesitate
We were created to create
That’s what makes us cognate
With the God

Listen
I tell you one thing
Something you know but
Don’t wanna trust in
Something you’re hiding
Something that scares you
Echoes in veins
You pray
When you are dying
When you are crying
When you are poor
Do you still think that he is gonna answer?!
