State Of Siege - Serenity

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

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?

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

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!

Hear me, God, I’m 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

Hear me, God, to stay alive

Hear me, God, I am a man who’s praying for a chance to stay alive

Save my life, I’m sick of killing
