Featured Lyrics
Morning sunlight warmed my skin
No fear had ever lived within
The fields still whispered through the breeze
I thought those days would never leave
Then came the ropes... the dust... the fear
Everything became unclear
No voice to ask... no path to run
The world I knew had come undone
Eyes surround me everywhere
Yet not one soul can see my fear
So many faces... not one hand
To pull me from this killing sand
I don't understand...
Why your eyes burn colder than steel.
Why your voices rise
Each time another wound is real.
If this is glory...
Why am I the one who pays?
If this is courage...
Why do you cheer my pain?
The gates explode beneath the light
Thousands gather, side by side
They call it honor, call it pride
While I become the sacrifice
The crimson stains the silent air
Each new wound too much to bear
Every wound leaves me weaker
Still they cry for one more
The sand beneath me turns to red
My strength abandons every step
Still they scream for something more
As if my life
Was never mine before
I don't understand...
Why your eyes burn colder than steel.
Why your voices rise
Each time another wound is real.
If this is glory...
Why am I the one who pays?
If this is courage...
Why do you cheer my pain?
I remember rain...
The scent of earth...
The wind between the trees...
The place...
I once called home.
My legs surrender.
Bone against sand.
Still...
You demand...
One...
More...
Step.
No triumph.
No honor.
Only suffering...
For your applause
I cannot stand...
But somehow...
I still crawl...
One final step...
One last hope...
To make it home.
My heartbeat slows...
The shouting fades...
For the first time today...
Nothing hurts.
Tomorrow...
Another gate will open.
Another innocent life...
Will enter the sand.
