Escape Root
escape root
with all this gravities
of life
one search for a
way out
out of the mysteries
of the unknown
always knocking on
the doors of our reality
we always wonder
our why? never has a limit
on our lips full of questions
for every events of shame
in our community is
enough to find an
escape root
escape root
we keep running
we keep escaping
escaping the passing of greed
in our countries
many have gone too quick
to an early grave
many have lost hope for life
many have been long forgotten
in a foreign land
many have been brought
back home dead
all because of escaping
the evils of greed
what an
escape root
escape root
we keep searching
our long search
never stop
for too long
we have been just shadows
dressed in the coats of
brutal colours
in the land of planty
yet we still starve
like we always
have nothing
so this provokes
us to escape
as always we
keep searching for an
escape root
escape root
too many actions
we never wished for
triggers too many
reaction we never
wanted
we never wanted to
be victims in our
own lands
we wish life could
be more fair
so we could enjoy
the benefit of home
for right now our
home burns with
an evil flames
and with an heavy
smokes of brutality
is obvious is clear
so when we try
to quench the fire
the men on the hills
rewards us with
an early grave
they set up the fire
as long as it keep
burning
as long as they benefit
from our pains
so we got no choice
instead to fight
as always cowardly
but never Coward enough
not to keep searching for the
escape root
