The weight we carry alone, is the weight we carry together

lyrics

I am just a useless slave, I did not ask for this, weak illusion of a free life.

We are left with nothing, yet you still ask for more,
the attic is empty, and we are running out of hope...

A dying wasteland is paved with pain and I would sell my soul for a single drop of rain.
This barren countryside is breaking my soul, but I can not leave cause this is my home.

This is where my mother gave birth to me, working day and night to put food on the table, taught me how to read,
While father was abroad, freezing in a cabin, driving day and night, risking his life, there were hard times...

The weight of my sorrow is more than I can bear.
It's crushing me down and I can barely breath.
How could I stop this heart from beating? I can't stop giving, you can't stop taking.
will you let me take a breath? Stop this suicide machine for God's sake!
With our own two hands we're digging our own graves.

Why? Why do we leave our homes?
We are dying! Without a glimpse of hope.

Why? Why do we leave our homes?
We are dying!
where else could we go?

This! This is where I was born!
It is a prison for our lonesome souls...
