Lyrics translation:
Those who died for freedom
Never had the chance to live it
They wrote a song for others
Never had the chance to sing it
Those who died for the cause
Never had the chance to solve it
A flower in this wilderness
Never had the chance to pick it
This land is always hungry
For those who love it
Once inside it
They are speechless
Sadness is endless
And the pen is flooding
With blood in this darkness
Hiding behind the lines
Scared that the sun might come up
And leave someone out
It scribbled down all the names
Until history writes them properly
You are dreaming of peace
Still alive because your time has not come
Following the compass of life
It is silent, not a sound
And this land is swallowing
Those who love it the most
It leaves them speechless
Not even a chance for a goodbye kiss
