Lyrics
|
|
This was not pre-planned but after some calls
|
I decided to go to the other side of the world
|
|
I see something, I see a handsome soldier
|
I see myself remaining when all of you are gone
|
And the reason that I paint you in my paintings
|
And the reason I record the sound of your voices
|
|
No one walks away from this battle
|
From the power, it's so strong
|
Like a fury
|
Keep that fury deep inside you
|
And wish it to end
|
And when your friends start asking you why
|
You just say nothing
|
|
The beautiful and the sensitive and the oh so very young
|
We are adapting to your silence
|
I can live here without you
|
At least I'm learning
|
But I cannot live without your songs
|
|
Who have you been with?
|
Have you been with friends...or is there more?
|
(You're not listening to me)
|
Have you been writing, well you say it's harder now
|
Well I got the message, stay among the living
|
|
From what I can tell I need to be here
|
You say someone's looking for you, nothing is wrong
|
Well I can and I will go on
|
|
When this battle is over
|
I feel I will survive
|
In the battle of the dragon
|
No one walks away
|
Oh, you wish it to the end...wish it to the end
|
|
|
