lyrics

Wasteland, lousy arid land
A river flows but it’s a stream of sand
Wrapped brown skins
Melting in the hottest hour
Have to break their back for a helpless flower

Never get a wage
Never stand this cage
A pointed shotgun
Translucent sun,
to the bitter end
Countless clothes to mend

It’s a forgotten loan
The reason for my swoon
Another moneylender
In just another wasteland

All is a waste of time
A mountain range to climb
Up to the top and back
Push the Sisyphus’ rock

Over and over again

Oooh ooooh
Oooh ooooh

I won’t forgive you for these rusty coins
For all the concrete ‘round your ruins

Another wasted day
We’re back to Middle Age
We’re captive, we’re enraged
Another lonely day
As innocent inmates

We’re naked, we’re insane
It shouldn’t be a crime
To balance loss and gain
Back to the Middle Age

Another wasted day
We read an empty page
We speechlessly abdicate
Another wasted day
A lonely day

The alluvium is more than mud
It's a loaded rifle
When you feel sad
We’re leaving, we’re getting out
To savor all the sins of town
I’m sure that we shall rejoice
We’ll be much more
than a second choice

Your sister’s yelling
Why should we be ignored?
Your lover’s shouting
We’re gonna meet no more
The wall’s being raised
The whole world criticize
I dream of sea waves
But I don’t like their size
