What Am I Fighting For

Short Version

I can feel the pain and anger of the many lives we lost from violence
Now nobody can escape from the terror again…
And again we try to hide our hope but we will never give up, you know
You can’t erase our inner flame

When I look up, I feel I’m longing to forget this war, retreat, leave…
When I look back, I see a wave of soldiers look at me

So tell me how this ends
Will I live to see morning light?
Fear is filled in every breath
Sweat and blood runs down my chest
Will nobody save us all?
We have no time to wait, get up now
I’m not gonna die here
That’s what I’m fighting for

Extended Version

I am surrounded by a thousand guns and warrior’s crying,
“They’re here! Now brace yourself!”
Defeat is in our eyes, a hundred, million, billion lies: “We will survive”
Now tell me what are we fighting for?

I can feel the pain and anger of the many lives we lost from violence
Now nobody can escape from the terror again…
And again we try to hide our hope but we will never give up, you know
You can’t erase our inner flame

When I look up, I feel I’m longing to forget this war, retreat, leave…
When I look back, I see a wave of soldiers look at me

(Reff)
So tell me how this ends
Will I live to see morning light?
Fear is filled in every breath
Sweat and blood runs down my chest
Will nobody save us all?
We have no time to wait, get up now
I’m not gonna die here
That’s what I’m fighting for

I wake up to chaos, crying, more explosions, rooftops flying… silence
I’m trapped in the darkness under the rubble
I can feel my senses fading
Falling deep into the shadow of death
I know my countdown starts right now

No more cries, living in fear, or lies
I cannot stay in this safehouse, by myself
What was I fighting for?
Who am I fighting for?
I want to fight for more!

(Reff)
So tell me how this ends
Will I live to see morning light?
Fear is filled in every breath
Sweat and blood runs down my chest
Will nobody save us all?
We have no time to wait, get up now
I’m not gonna die here
That’s what I’m fighting for
