White snow and grey ice
cover this barren earth
And upon it this quilt of the land is
a city strangled by roads
And above it the clouds pass by,
blocking the light of gold
And above it the yellow smoke,
the city's 2000 years old
The years spent under the star known as the Sun
And for 2000 years they've had wars
for no reason at all
Wars are fought by the young
to keep them from growing old
Scarlet puddles of blood
in an hour will turn into dirt
In two hours the earth is dry,
and in three flowers will grow
Warmed by the rays of the star known as the Sun
And we know that nothing will change,
that Fate will favor the one
Him who lives by the rules of his own,
him who's destined to fight and die young
He forgets about the words: 'Yes' or 'No',
ranks and names mean nothing to him
He can reach for any star in the sky,
and for him it's not just a dream
And fall burned by the star known as the Sun
