I'm running away,
but i dont know where.
There's nothing to say,
there's no one to care.

This air is so warm,
and yet i am so cold.
And then they blow the horn,
and it's time to be bold.

We've got to win this war,
to get our lives back.
Just spread your wings and soar,
who knows when you'll be back?

This fighting is almost over,
it's all coming to an end.
It's time to take cover,
time to be free again.

This was has been lost,
we're not the same inside.
What is the cost?
I think i'm gonna die...
