|
I had first realized the shape I was in |
|
After six years in uniform, in the standing din |
|
I signed in at eighteen for a college degree |
|
Recruiting out of high school into opportunity |
|
I'd always equated my love for my land |
|
With the loyalty of the army but now I understand |
|
I'm from a small town, I knew quiet streets |
|
There was a market where people often meet |
|
I built my home there, me and my family |
|
These are the loneliest days I've seen |
|
My soldiers are marching according to rank |
|
They have occupied the borderlines outside the West Bank |
|
I'm relieving my attention on a bloody red machine |
|
A conscientious citizen for the democratic regime |
|
This kind of struggle's not one to go alone |
|
So I'm joining the opposition but I'm never going home |
|
I'm from a small town, no cause and no elites |
|
There was a market where people often meet |
|
I remember loved ones but I don't remember peace |
|
These are the loneliest days I've seen |
