lyrics

When you were born nobody told you
You had the find out the truth by yourself
We’ve got evidence of all that happens
Our families destroyed by madness

How many different gods are bending the world?
How many powerful ones are draining it?
Brother killing brother, they say
We can’t help choosing one side

In the depth of our nightmare
Hands held for help and hope
What is your part in this?

Chose your knight…
Which side are you on?
The sun burns as black as pitch
We shed bitter tears for the pain of mankind

The false martyrdom cuts down
More victims than a pestilence
Everywhere someone disappears
A day with no future generation’s coming

The signs of the end are storming your mind
Your soul worn out by rust and despair
We infected our own mother
To see if we could buy her a cure

Chose your knight…
Which side are you on?
The sun burns as black as pitch
We shed bitter tears for the pain of mankind
Chose your knight…
Which side are you on?
The moon bleeds crimson red
As you find out what your true name is

Are we watching the same Moon
Peeping from different, distant skies?
Are our feet walking on the same moist, warm earth
Guiding our steps through different paths?
Are we inhaling the same poisonous
Rotting air burning through our lungs?
Which road are we destined to follow
In perfect, pure, symmetric synchronism
Just to walk together again?
Is it right to follow those roads?
What is the point in deciding?
