lyrics

The green and red way

Foes, it's the way that we've been living
We've had enough, rise up heroes of the sea

Yesterday
We had the world on the palm of our hands
Overcome fears and threats, we had the courage
To sail against the tides in a sea of doubts
And in the name of the cross we conquered
Lords of the world kings of the seas
Not even Poseidon could drown me
But the years have passed
The kings became greedy and now in this land we feel bad

The more I try to escape from this place
The more they cut my wings and throw me back in the cage
I can't escape
The more I run from this dogs that are hunting me
The more they get close and bite my dreams
Violently
I'm sick and tired of this shattered reality
I can't hold anymore this twisted mentalities
I can't breathe
In this green
And fucking red
Way

Red
For the blood that was spilled
Men's will consumed by the world's wonders
So many children dead, mother's sad they gave us what we have
Green
For the hopeless hope that we are blinded to see
But which we need
We ended the slavery but why do I still feel chains around my neck

I'm tired of living in this green and red way

As time changes some mentalities stay the same
And for those sharks that are waiting for us to drown
Watch us swim towards to the fucking crown

For more you try to destroy a nation of youth
The aged chains of death are still coming for you
For more you try to destroy a nation of youth
This chains are coming for you

This chains will
Tie you to a world forever gone
Retarded mentalities
With values written on hollow bodied wood
