I Want To Go Away

I want to go away 
see it coming in the air 
that is not a flight of peace
the sounds it bleeds 
bleeds sorrows 
we are in trouble again
another air steel is
about to lay another 
egg of fire 
what a fight 
I never want to see 
and now 
I want to go away 

oh see it coming in the air 
oh see it coming in the air
the bird of war 
another fight is set again
and now 
I want to go away 


I want to go away 
see it coming in the air 
the mark of destruction
is obvious in our cloud again
who is going to save us
from this calamities
cos we are not ready 
for sorrows again 
we don't want no steel bird 
above our roof heads again
I wish we could stop that 
cos now our home is on fire
so as in many places
the steel bird are still
laying the eggs of fire 
and now 
I want to go away 

oh see it coming in the air 
oh see it coming in the air
the bird of war 
another fight is set again
and now 
I want to go away 

I want to go away 
see it coming in the air 
the steel birds from 
the powers of darkness 
they got nothing to offer 
but brutality
it does not matter who dies 
not even the innocent babies 
yet they say they are saving
the poor 
why are we running for safety
why must we be as a refugees
far from our homes 
why must our homes be set on fire 
this we can't ask now cos 
the air is still polluted and messy 
all for their false alarm 
to gave us peace 
yet war keep knocking
still revolution keeps on 
and now 
I want to go away


oh see it coming in the air 
oh see it coming in the air
the bird of war 
another fight is set again
and now 
I want to go away 

I  want to go away
I want to go away from trouble
I want to go away from brutality
I want to run to peace
any were it found 
I want to be safe 
from the powers of darkness
cos the world is full of many 
I want to be in the land of justice
does it ever exist 
I want a planet were nature 
is natural
I just want to run away 
away from the powers 
forces that rule our world 
to the deep of the deep of darkness
I wish God save me a place 
of peace cos now 
I want to go away


oh see it coming in the air 
oh see it coming in the air
the bird of war 
another fight is set again
and now 
I want to go away
