    When strangers are coming...
    They come to your house,
    They kill you all
    and say,
    We’re not guilty
    not guilty.
     
    Where is your mind?
    Humanity cries.
    You think you are gods.
    But everyone dies.
    Don't swallow my soul.
    Our souls
     
    I did not enjoy my youth
    I was not able to live in this place14
    I did not enjoy my youth
    I was not able to live in this place
     
    We could build a future
    Where people are free
    to live and love.
    The happiest time.
     
    Where is your heart?
    Humanity rise.
    You think you are gods
    But everyone dies.
    Don't swallow my soul.
    Our souls
     
    I did not enjoy my youth
    I was not able to live in this place
    I did not enjoy my youth
    I was not able to live in this place
     
    I did not enjoy my homeland
