---

We were accursed and born on the same day

The vicious hands of fate show no mercy

Among dust and blood we grew into nothing

Surviving the scourge of fire and famine

The elders say this land was once a garden

that vultures tore apart with greed and madness

Misfortune came from far to stay forever

The world we used to know burnt down to ashes

Last night the bombs were heard

So will tomorrow

In silence we lie down waiting for trial

Our future is a doubt that dwells in sorrow

The pledge of escape

A vain desire

After a war another came

We couldn't start again

We forgot to be afraid

Longing for hell

Our golden dream awaits across the ocean

In quest for peaceful lives we will depart

Full of faith and fear we'll sail these waters

A promised open door

A ray of light



There is a place beyond the sea

where you can start again

Hold my hand, don't be afraid

I'll guide you there

We'll leave our home

and we don't know

if we'll return someday

Distant shores of peace and wealth

Just take me there

A new sign leads our journey

A vivid dream that lights our way

The blue is the final barrier

This vessel harbours all we yearn

Take us far from here

We've seen the pain, the havoc

We've seen cities torn by flares

Before the abyss, these depths now

We made our choice in despair

Blue skies and no winds blowing

The sun is tearing down my skin

We drift, time stands still

This is the price to be free...

And we must pay for it

The storm breaks so treacherous

Just a few miles from heaven

All hope fades, our wish dies

So close and yet so far

These waves will entomb us

A fury unbeknown to men

Unseen dread, unheard cries

Beneath no shooting star

Our prayers are worthless

for we are god-forsaken

The small boat starts sinking

There's no chance to survive

Awaiting, now breathless

We know we're to be taken

A harsh truth revealing

that we will never thrive

There was a place beyond the sea

We couldn't start again

Hold my hand I'm so afraid

We won't get there

We left our home

and now we know

We won't return someday

Distant shores

of peace and wealth

Here's my last breath
