Tekst piosenki
You said you'd be there for me In times of trouble when I need you and I'm down And likewise you need friendship It's from my side pure love but I see lately things have been changing You have goals to achieve but the roads you take abroad and heartbeats That wants you make another way You throw stones, can you see that I am human? I am breathing but you don't give a damn Can you feel my heart is beating? Can you see the pain you're causing? Can you feel my heart is beating? Can you see the pain you're causing? Blood, blood, blood Blood, blood, blood Blood, blood, blood Blood, blood, blood Blood keeps rushing And now the world is asleep, how will you ever wake her up When she is deep in her dreams wishing? And yet so many die, and still we think That it is all about us, it's all about you You sold your soul to the evil and the lust And the passion and the money and you Innocent ones die, people hunger for decades Suffer under civilized armed robbers, slaveholders Can you feel my heart is beating? Can you see the pain you're causing? Can you feel my heart is beating? Can you see the pain you're causing? Blood, blood, blood Blood, blood, blood Blood, blood, blood Blood, blood, blood Blood keeps rushing Evaded, eliminated, erased, interrogated Our tradition, our love for our fellow countrymen Our property, our resources, our pride Can you feel? Can you feel my heart beating? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no You don't, don't, don't Can you feel my heart is beating? Can you see the pain you're causing? Can you feel my heart is beating? Can you see the pain you're causing?
