Inside — текст песни (pain of salvation)

[Music: D.Gildenlow/D.Magdic/K.Gildenlow/F.Hermansson]

`What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and
humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered,
and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined to the
Axis Powers alone.`

I was told the pain and hunger was not my fault
How could they be so wrong?
And man, of all five billion people you`re only one
Believed them for far too long!
Clean hands
My land is my home

I`m inside the big machine and it`s eating me!
And I am just a wheel in motion, too blind to see
The way we are heading now

I`m hollow
I swallow, but....

Inside I`m strong
Inside I`m free
Inside I`m young
Inside I`m still me

[Since 1990 there have been 93 wars in 70 states all around the world, with 5.5 million people dead. 75% of these people were civilians, 1 million of them were children...]</i>

(Guns don`t kill - I don`t kill. Do I?)

Drink with me, laugh with me, friends for tonight
Stay with me, sleep with me, happy tonight
I only feel lonely outside this bar
Look at me when I speak! Who do you think you are?

Just look at me now! Inside I`m lost...

Now I`m vain, numb this pain - why is it burning?
Clean as rain, not a stain - so why am I yearning?

I can`t sleep - I twist and turn
In too deep - I sweat, I burn
I`m afraid that I`ll awake, dressed up in a big mistake
Then I`d break!

What if I just closed my eyes?
(I`m not clean...)
What if I shut out the lies?
(...blood unseen...)
And what if I could hear my heart...
(...all over my hands!)
...accusing me for taking part
of the Machine
