As if I was the one to surwive a war
Do I have to die for what I believe?
Do I have to be killed just because I live?
Yes, cause that's what they want
Cause with their blood I have no bond
Do I have to deny existence of my child?
Do I have to steal just to stay alive?
Yes, cause it's the only way to surwive
Although I already have been classified
Don't I have right to believe?
Devoring my friend to live
Seeing a girl that was raped
Memories in people engraved
Even if I somehow get through
How do I live with killing you?
Just so I could surwive another day
Was I right? What will you say?
