"Heartbeat"

You said you'd be there for me
in times of trouble when I need you and I'm down.
And likewise you need friendship.
It's from my side pure love but I see lately things have been changing.
You have goals to achieve,
but the roads you take are broad and heartless.
That wants you make another way.
You throw stones.
Can you see that I am human, I am breathing?
But you don't give a damn.

Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing
Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing

~

Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood,
blood, blood, blood, blood, blood keeps rushing

And now the world is asleep.
How will you ever wake her up when she is deep in her dreams, wishing?
And yet so many die,
and still we think that it is all about us, it's all about you.
You sold your soul
to the evil and the lust and the passion and the money and you
see innocent ones die,
people hunger for decades, suffer under civilized armed robbers, modern slaveholders.

~

Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing
Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing

~

Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood,
blood, blood, blood, blood, blood keeps rushing

Evaded, eliminated, erased, interrogated.
Our tradition, our love for our fellow countrymen, our property, our resources, our pride.

Oh, can you feel, can you feel my heart beating?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don't.

~

Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing
Can you feel my heart is beating

Can you see the pain you're causing
