- WAR -

In the defying silence

In the stormy darkness

I saw nothing, heard nothing, felt nothing

I was already numb

Everything was on fire

The ever-raging war

The lifeless sky

Echoing crackles of mad guffaw

Destruction and death

My lashes are dry

I dare not cry

Witnessing my family die

Tongues of flames devoured my city

Ashes stirring up and settling down

Those decaying bodies and bones

Those countless victims

They did nothing to deserve this

Platoons of evil creatures

Marching back and forth

Eyes wild, hands sticky with blood

Left me mustered by fear

Alone

The imaginary chains I hauled

The shackles suffocating me

I was afraid

Of the phantoms here and there

Lurking, hunting for prey

Showers of orange, yellow and red

Now lights the dying town

They savored it

Watching us die

They've won, yes

Our misery, their joy

Invisible hands entwining my neck

Tightened, choking me

The endless nightmares

I woke up every midnight, screaming with the howling wind

Heroes only appear in fairy tales

I had no savior

Pain and agony

Hunger and insanity

Pierced brutally through my struggling heart

Grinding my soul

If I, too, embraced Grim Reaper

Tell me, tell me

Will I finally be happy?

The war is never going to end

Tell me, tell me

Am I not right?
