Are we really living?

LYRICS:
This bullet of iron
A weapon of justice
I shoot in the hope they’ll know
A hero is among us

But have you noticed
If you have your eyes closed
It feels exactly like a creature
Burning in hell deep down below

How can I be worthy
As my brother can be?
Divided by walls
I know that’s not the only thing

The fate we were born with
I won’t hear you complaining
You may have forgotten
We have the right to be free

If, in another life
My home was in the sky
I’d spread my wings so far
And I would fly

But we all know that birds
Should they have nowhere to return
Will never make their journey
We have survived, but are we really living?

Beautiful world, you have done me wrong
Yet through the pain, I will sing this love song
Whatever I must now sacrifice
This truth remains: I’ll always be by your side

I cannot afford to hesitate
I can only hope I’m not too late
Believing in yourself
Will be the only way
That you can overturn all your mistakes

A shower of iron
We cut to the next scene
It feels just like a movie
But this is our reality

This war is repulsive
And unnecessary
Who’s winning or losing
Is so irrelevant to me

So why do I feel this
Resentment deep inside?
These blackened emotions
Take over, though I try to hide it

I can’t explain it
Believe me, I’ve been trying
But are we ever really
Saying what we mean?

The language of a soul
You could never translate
The meaning becomes lost
As it is conveyed

With all your heart and mind
With open eyes, believe it
And you will find the truth you seek
We have survived, but are we really living?

Beautiful world, you have done me wrong
Yet through the pain, I will sing this love song
Whatever I must now sacrifice
This truth remains: I’ll always be by your side

Shadows of forgotten “chosen ones”
Bodies, now forsaken in the dark
But I cannot deny, that hidden deep inside
Is just a lonely child of evil

Although my sacrifice
Has been commendable
Within me is a child of evil
