A City With No Foundation

In a city with no foundations

People are pursuing meaningless goals

Waiting for completion in their lives

Believing everything and nothing

In a city with no foundations

People only see their own inverted images

How difficult it is for them 

To recognize who they are!

The emptiness is covered by pretty deceptions

Which push sorrow down into darkness

However, the darkness can hold nothing

If sorrow has no place to be kept,

Happiness will be unrecognisable

The empty void loved by people

They build their dreams on it

Oh, what a wonderful reality! They say,

Our dreams are more real than realities

Don’t look, don’t listen,

Don’t feel, don’t talk

Don’t share, don’t love

Don’t keep living, don’t die either 

Make the utmost efforts to obtain

Peace through the blood of our enemies

Security from lethal weapons

In the city with no foundation
