What do you hear

In the nights

Nowadays

Humming along to the

Silent songs, they

Never told you it's over

No one

Calls you home

Knows your name

Remembers who

You were

Every truce must come to an end

Some of these days

Soon now

Wonder why

The radio sleeps endlessly

Crushing you over its

(Crushing you over its)

Formal silent weight

No one

Calls you home

Knows your name

Remembers who

You were

In midday the Mosquitoes come

In midday the Mosquitoes come

In midday they come

No man lives here

On this island

Beyond the Lizard Shore

Of an ocean never real

Slowly burning

Into ashes

Like inscense, windchimes

And machine gun nests

The fortresses of steel

Sunken and gone

Far beyond horizons

Unreachable

Where the typhoons sleep

Eastwards

And the endless surf

Beckons you

For this beachhead

White coral sand

We melt and rot

Erase ourselves

Spirit warriors

Ghosts in the green

Armour and soul

Never weakening

Never weakening

Lord, you emperor of souls

Of the masses in the vaning land

For this empire of Mosquito hills

You conquerer of grass and mud

I beg obedience to the rising sun

I beg obedience to the rising sun

In this world that the jungle reclaims

Warriors put to sleep

Dreaming mosquito dreams

This blade sharpened now

In the name of all conquests failed

In the name of all conquests failed
