" If we don't end war, war will end us "
Look me in the eyes you freedom-bird ..
You are looking to a man who has just been hit ..
You are looking to a man who bleeds to death ..
To a land grew fear instead of trees ..
To a place where greed rules ..
I would pay every blood drop just to let you live ..
Stay alive freedom-bird even in the dreams of the prisoners ..
What news you are carrying?! ..
The war has just begun behind the lines ..
Are they looking for freedom dear friend ? ..
Do they want to live with some dignity ?...
Is that all ?
I think they are calling for their rights ..
What!! Say it loudly my friend ..
They were killed for that ..
What a shame ! and what are you doing for that ?!
Nothing !!!! nobody is doing anything for that ,,
we are all watching .. ..
I can't walk to their my friend ..
I told you I'm bleeding heavily ..
I have minutes no more
I'm spending my last moments talking to you the freedom- bird..
Talking about the previous war .. and the next war ..
The same dear, believe me ..
More killing more blood .. more signs will be lifted ..
War is eating all ..
Even that smile on the kids face . has lost their way back ..
Never leave them my friend ..
If they lost their smile .. they deserve their freedom instead ..
War should come to an end ..
And the roses should grow again ..
You should return to your nest my friend ..
Hope things go fast ..
I don't want to suffer more ..
My death is just the beginning ..
I go .. but the idea stays ..
