Always arises nothing but tragedy?
What is one to do in such sad times?
Even today, again somewhere
Someone cries out in sadness as
People steal from and wound other people
A person’s mind wants to return a time before
When he could look at the world through innocent eyes
For what purpose do people fight?
For what purpose do people live?
Once again, stop and consider
That keeping a cool head is the better way
We start off made-up in
A confused mask that we continue to wear
As we wander through these puzzling times
Overlooking the important things
We fall into deep darkness
Criminal proof of our not noticing
Cutting our spirits off from the pain
We have no time to look in the mirror
Until the end, fighting
Until the end, wanting to get ahead -
This time, it’s better to stand up
And peel away the mask
A new future is born
A shining world
Where simple things
Never disappear
A person’s mind wants to return a time before
When he could look at the world through innocent eyes
For what purpose do people fight?
For what purpose do people live?
Once again, stop and consider
That keeping a cool head is the better way
