Lyrics The Prisoner's Victory - Clepsydra

The Prisoner's Victory

The sun is reflecting your eyes to the skies
You don’t see a reason you see your disguise
Sometimes you would wish your anger away
The fear of the death is drowning the day
Your hand in the sand feels the heat of the fight
You’re scared of the light and you don’t love the night
You know she would cry but you don’t give a damn
She would be able to shoot to the man
Hungry as your son that you keep in your heart
You play with the knife to get time fall apart
You dig in the sand to get save to the end
The storm of the desert is erasing the land
Now that I’m able to understand
What you want is to try to survive
Your hope is to live outside the line
To get some water, to free your mind
The foe is so near that you can hear it’s breath
Your friend and companion is facing the death
The crowded desert is shaken by tanks
The dying sky aware of the ranks
The orders you get are so hard to take
«Go!
Fight and die!»
This is your faith
The moon in the night eclipsed by the light
The light of the battle that burns in your mind
The sun of the day eclipsed, by the way
The way that they shoot from the sky to your brain
The hope to be alive to the end of the day
Is eclipsed by the deaths that they leave on their way
I saw your hands held up high
I saw your fear and then I felt mine
The pain in your hand is to shoot to the steel
Or to something else that’s so fast you can’t see
The flag that you wear does not matter to you
It doesn’t give you bread and it’s killing you
The enemy near and you’re near to the end
White is what you wave and keep in your hand
Now that I saw your face
I am able to understand
The fear that you tear
Is about no matter what
You tried to love
You tried not to die
Now you are a prisoner
Free and alive!
Free and alive!
You tried to love
You tried not to die
