The Prisoner's Victory - Clepsydra

The sun is reflecting your eyes to the skies

You don’t see a reason you see your disguise

Sometimes you would wish your anger away

The fear of the death is drowning the day

Your hand in the sand feels the heat of the fight

You’re scared of the light and you don’t love the night

You know she would cry but you don’t give a damn

She would be able to shoot to the man

Hungry as your son that you keep in your heart

You play with the knife to get time fall apart

You dig in the sand to get save to the end

The storm of the desert is erasing the land

Now that I’m able to understand

What you want is to try to survive

Your hope is to live outside the line

To get some water, to free your mind

The foe is so near that you can hear it’s breath

Your friend and companion is facing the death

The crowded desert is shaken by tanks

The dying sky aware of the ranks

The orders you get are so hard to take

«Go!

Fight and die!»

This is your faith

The moon in the night eclipsed by the light

The light of the battle that burns in your mind

The sun of the day eclipsed, by the way

The way that they shoot from the sky to your brain

The hope to be alive to the end of the day

Is eclipsed by the deaths that they leave on their way

I saw your hands held up high

I saw your fear and then I felt mine

The pain in your hand is to shoot to the steel

Or to something else that’s so fast you can’t see

The flag that you wear does not matter to you

It doesn’t give you bread and it’s killing you

The enemy near and you’re near to the end

White is what you wave and keep in your hand

Now that I saw your face

I am able to understand

The fear that you tear

Is about no matter what

You tried to love

You tried not to die

Now you are a prisoner

Free and alive!

Free and alive!

You tried to love

You tried not to die
