[Verse 1]
It seems to me a nightmare becomes reality
The last days of the paradise are gone for you and me
We're living in the crossfire
And we'll be killed at first
Why cannot people that we made the leaders of the world

[Chorus]
Understand that we don't want to fight
Understand that we are much too young to die
Understand no one will survive
Understand that we love our life

[Verse 2]
Can I trust the meaning of the life line in my hand
Which is as long as exciting hundred years
I could be a lucky man
But I'm living in the crossfire
Of a time that starts to burn
Why cannot people that we made the leaders of the world

[Chorus]
Understand that we don't want to fight
Understand that we are much too young to die
Understand no one will survive
Understand that we love our life
