lyrics

THE DEATH INSTINCT

You are my brothers and I bear the burden for you
And every day I lift a Sisyphus stone
For prosperity but not for conviction
Hoping for the future without pain

And walking the line
Between death and pride
There is still a little hope and prayers
While you are alive you'll fight
Even if you're going down
Listen to your heart

Blind leading blind
It's death instinct
And everyone thinks that will lead to light
But we plunge into darkness and eternal gunfight

And it is heavier than me, heavier than my love
But I'm stronger than you think
I want to see what will bring me a new day

And walking the line
Between death and pride
There is still a little hope and prayers
While you are alive you'll fight
Even if you're going down
Listen to your heart

This is our death instinct
What hurts the most?
Your pity scares me more than a gun aimed at me
I would give my life for a family

Save me from pain
From the dirty hands of the priest
Help me forget

But all this is heavier than my love ...
And madness flows through my veins
The only rage saves from pain
Let me die

Or share with me this death instinct
But when I hear their voices and laughter
I understand that all is not lost
And I'm still here
I promised to stay
