you tell me...

i passed your roads that once a glimmering place of joy and merry,
your gates that once a stronghold to find refuge now abandoned,

seven years ago if i am allowed to recall,
i have seen you as a dream place to be…
with colorful banners hung up up on your blue sky of freedom…

oh look at you now…
youre a place of thieves and bandits,
ghost and ghouls stayed on your shadows…
smells of death comes out from your water fountain…

you tell me lady,
which one is the first brick to start building this ruined place?

you tell me lady,
where is the borders of your walls to work at?

you tell me lady,
with me alone, bare handed… will you allow me to put you back together again in one piece?

will there be a chance to put those towers back in place they used to be?
coz i dont care how much sweats and tears it takes…
coz i dont care how much time it takes…
coz i dont care how much cost it takes…
coz i dont care how much risk it takes…

if it requires me to pour all my sweats and tears to do it, then so be it!
if it requires me to give all my time to do it, then so be it!
if it requires me to spend all the cost i got to do it, then so be it!
if it requires me to take all the risk to do it, then so be it!

if it requires me to give up all i ever have to do it, then so be it!
