Lyrics
We lived a quiet life
We had a peaceful and undisturbed life.
My father sister and I
My father, sister, and I were part of this tranquil life.
The monsters came one day
Suddenly, menacing forces arrived.
They took my father away
They took my father away forcibly.
They said he'd be a soldier
They claimed he was needed as a soldier.
They dragged us to the fields
We were forcibly taken to the fields.
Splintered fingers cuts and all
We experienced injuries like splintered fingers in the harsh conditions.
In those fields we were left to rot
Left abandoned in those fields, enduring hardship.
Our father came and gave us a gun
Our father appeared and gave us a gun.
Don't look back he said just run
He urged us not to look back but to run.
Almost out of sight
As we were almost out of sight,
Heard a gunshot through the night
We heard a gunshot piercing the night.
Two young children not even in our teens
Two young children, not even in our teens,
Running through the forest survive by any means
We ran through the forest, surviving by any means.
Picking off guards to get through another day
We engaged in combat, picking off guards to live another day.
Sleep on the roof when tigers come to play
We sought refuge on the roof when danger approached.
I'm all alone now my sister is gone
Now, I find myself alone; my sister is gone.
It's been a while but it still hits home
Though some time has passed, the pain still deeply affects me.
Unbelievable strength to get through the years
We displayed incredible strength to endure the passing years.
And to stand in the face of fear
We stood resolute in the face of overwhelming fear.
Unbelievable strength to get through the years
Reiterating the incredible strength required to endure the years.
And to stand in the face of fear
Standing steadfast in the face of fear.
