Lyrics

Swans sing before they die
Their songs resound throughout the sky
And I drop a rose petal
down the sea of blood and tears
I keep praying

Why do you feel nothing ?
Why do you injured one another ?
Why? Aggressive culture of despotism
Why? You never win the cursed war

GLORY
DECLINE
DELUSION
ARROGANCE
SILENCE
ANGER
SILENCE
MADNESS

Now the fire has burnt out
And what is left is built of ice

This sounds like heaven
I vaguely hear a moan of pain
It's a solemn note
