Lyrics
When strangers are coming
They come to your house
They kill you all
and say
We’re not guilty
not guilty
Where is your mind?
Humanity cries
You think you are gods
But everyone dies
Don't swallow my soul
Our souls
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
We could build a future
..

@Armchaircouch Here's a translation (not mine) of the chorus and last line:
I could not spend my youth there
Because you took away my land
I couldn't have my homeland
@Armchaircouch it was powerful at the time. but it hits harder now.
whoa...
that could describe Palestine and Lebanon too.
😢
yeah, a lot, too, probably tbh @naikarrah @evistre
@evistre
Where people are free
to live and love
The happiest time
Where is your heart?
Humanity rise
You think you are gods
But everyone dies
Don't swallow my soul
Our souls
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
