"It is the truth we seek", they proclaim
as the innocent blood is washed away
They'd find the language in their need
and toy with the folly of the many
They'd pick the words between the lines
And come to believe their own lies
in the presence of truth, they'd hesitate
to lock gazes - right here with the eyes
of the mother, of the father, and of the child
"Mother, why? O Mother, why?
Isn't this the truth they've wished to find?
What clearer verity than that within the eyes
of faces ravaged by the warring plight?"
Listen to the cries of the orphaned
And see the charred corpses of decency slaughtered!
O silent people from the heavenly splendor!
Deny us of our promised respite!
"Vous êtes dans le malheur
Le repentir pour le mal des l'ancêtres
Privé de la lumière de Dieu
Les enfants d'un monde mort"
By sins of yore we are burdened
To carry crosses, of ruined generations
and to our next of kin we pass this poison
I call upon the spirits of perished fathers
Of violated mothers, of stillborn brothers and sisters
I am the offspring of a damned kind
Doomed from birth, decaying from the inside
My heritage is one of regret
No future, no hope, no solace!
