Lyrics

 I keep praying
 Why do you feel nothing?
 Why do you injure one another?
 Why? Aggressive culture of despotism.
 Why? You never win the cursed war.
 
 Glory
 Decline
 Delusion
 Arrogance
 Silence
 Anger
 Silence
 Madness
 
 Now the fire has burnt out
 And what is left is built on ice
 This sounds like heaven
 I vaguely hear a moan of pain
 It's a solemn note.
