How Can We?


all these empty faces
burning in my heart
all these dusty shapes
of madness in my world
we want to do it better
don't know when to start

how can we be soldiers
how can we be so cruel
how can we be strangers
and in the same time
be so lonely too

how can we be lovers
and in the same time
drain our hearts from fuel
how can we be human
and so loathsome too

how can you kill a brother
he's lonesome like you
how can we be so cruel
how can we be human
and so loathsome too

all these naked children
my eyes are turning blind
all these conditions
of hatred in my world
can we do it better

will we care and start to mind







The Fortune


the rain is pouring in my heart
the water ends as clay

a baby cries without a sound . . .

and all the love that's gone astray
it slowly falls apart

and roses that we kissed today
are dying in despair

the dawn is hiding in my mind
the sunshine turns away

a songbird sings without a voice . . .

and those who have a thing to say
are forced into rewind

where's the clue and the core
where's the saint and the king
where's the fortune of war
and the peace it should bring

the wind is blowing in my hair
the blue sky seems so gray

a soldier lives without a life . . .

and roses that we kissed today
are dying in despair
where's the clue and the core
where's the saint and the king
where's the lives from before
and the song we would sing

where's the fortune of war
and the peace it should bring
