Language of terrorism
Who am I to ask for more,
When there's freedom at the door?
Just give up and walk away succumb to terrorists and pain,
Take my heart and tear it up,
take a leap and never look,
take a need and make desire,

I only wish to live free from the world,
Always on my back,
so I am never heard,
I'm starting to crack,
I wish to fly as a bird,
Away from it all away from me,
And where I am,
With my passion and my hate,
With this religious debate,
We are talking with bombs,
Shouldn't we be talking with tongues?
After all it's the most powerful weapon,
So much damage, so much good,
Just like your war!

above the wreckage of his wasted childhood,
the samaritan son stripped of love.
