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
