State of Siege

歌詞

It comes again When the temples are shining in golden light And day fades away Deep inside There's a feeling that i have not chosen well My role in this play All this time I have been a good soldier whose will was strong So i played my part A painful song Is the cry of a friend as they raise the knife To cut out his heart [bridge:] I've never tasted fear but now i know Fearful nights and days of woe Our raging treasure hunt has ended here What's the use of all gold when death is near? [chorus:] State of siege A peaceful ending out of reach Our vessels were burning on the beach The general, he left us no choice but to die in this land In their eyes We were heralds of gods who would bring liberation Far too late They did realize what we bring is damnation [bridge:] I've never tasted fear but now i know Fearful nights and days of woe I've heard my promised piece of land's right here I'll resign it, my friend, my death is near! [chorus:] [canon, line 1:] Hear me, god, i am a simple man who's praying for a chance to return home again Oh i've shot so many men, i'm sick of killing, save my life, get me out of this land [canon, line 2:] Hear me, god, to stay alive Hear me, god, i am a man who's praying for a chance to stay alive [canon, line 3:] Save my life, i'm sick of killing [chorus:] 2x
