When I was a child
I heard about a war on the radio
I've never witnessed anyone die by a gun
It was always just toy tanks, water guns, and wooden swords
But nowadays they're forced to run, run, run, run
Black crosses in the sun
And they'll run, run, run, run, until a new day has dawned
Through dark hallways that lead to a delusive hope
Their dearest will be their dead
A red moon hangs in the firmament
Flashing lights steal the stars' shine
I hope they will find the beauty of the sky again someday
When I was a child
I heard about a war on the radio
I've never witnessed anyone die by a gun
It was always just toy tanks, water guns, and wooden swords
But nowadays they're forced to run, run, run, run
Black crosses in the sun
And they'll run, run, run, run, until a new day has dawned
Through dark hallways that lead to a delusive hope
Their dearest will be their dead
The devil hides behind human masks
Wolves lie in wait for the weak
Hunted across the border to freedom
To fight another war
When I was a child
I heard about a war on the radio
I've never witnessed anyone die by a gun
It was always just toy tanks, water guns, and wooden swords
But nowadays they're forced to run, run, run, run
Black crosses in the sun
And they'll run, run, run, run, until a new day has dawned
Through dark hallways that lead to a delusive hope
Their dearest will be their dead
They fight for their freedom in the year twenty-two
Those who survive will have to climb over the bones
And rubble of lost hopes and dreams
They fight for their freedom in twenty two
Their dearest are their dead
What can one man bear alone?
What can one man bear alone?
Yeaahh
They fight for their freedom in the year twenty-two
Those who survive will have to climb over the bones
And rubble of lost hopes and dreams
They fight for their freedom in twenty two
They fight for their freedom in twenty two
And they'll run, run, run, run, until a new day has dawned
Through dark hallways that lead to a delusive hope
Their dearest will be their dead
