Twilight
Parham Gharavaisi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of my fallen friends
Realize my legs are lost, both of them blown away
Will I die with the rest of them?
Some seek peace in death, such is the beauty of war
May I be a hero now?
Legacy of dying in vain, the pain remains
Profane; shame
Always have, where now a shrapnel resides
Red pouring out
I never understood, why they have to die
How in their eyes, are we not the enemy?
As I am buried alive, under the corpses
Weight of my dead friends
Drag me down to hell, through this abyss
And forget my name
How can there ever be a reason for war?
The price of a life
Lend me your leg, and I'll give you my eyes
To see the picture of the future
And I still remember your name, deep In my heart
Always have, where now a shrapnel resides
Red bleeding out
I never understood, why they had to die
How in their eyes, are we not the enemy?
You all did this to us
I am a ghost of your sins
