Lyrics

I don't live today

I do not experience life today.

Not in this world we see this way

In the world we perceive, things are not as they seem.

I don't cheat a game

I do not deceive or manipulate in a game or situation.

Not in this field we have to play

In this particular field or domain, we must adhere to fair play.


"Dear, dear land I fought for thee

"Dear, dear land, I fought for you and brought you peace and victory."

And brought thee peace and victory"

A declaration of loyalty and sacrifice for one's homeland.


Go on cowards

Continue, you who are timid or lacking courage.

Go on bastards

Continue, you who are despicable or contemptible.

I don't care no more

I am indifferent and no longer concerned.

All is worse

Everything is deteriorating or worsening.

All is darker

Everything is becoming darker or more ominous.

I can't breathe this air

I cannot tolerate or endure this polluted atmosphere.


"Dear, dear land I fought for thee

"Dear, dear land, I fought for you and brought you peace and victory."

And brought thee peace and victory"

A repetition emphasizing commitment and sacrifice for the homeland.


Bloody wires

Bloody wires.

Clockwork soul

A soul functioning mechanically like clockwork.

What choice is left for me?

What choices remain for me?

The earth is dying

The Earth is in a state of decline or dying.

Go on humans

Continue, humanity.

My pain has no gain

My suffering does not bring any benefit or reward.


"Dear, dear land I fought for thee

"Dear, dear land, I fought for you and brought you peace and victory."

And brought thee peace and victory"

A final reiteration of the commitment and sacrifices made for the homeland.
