Burning
She dreamed of us
She dreamed of this world
In peace and trust
And a trace of childlike mindlessness
For she was not very old
When she thought of us
Her children
Whom she raised in love
And we grew enough
Enough to make her mothers heart so proud
And she felt love
Only to be raped and tortured by her own seed.

If I had a wish for free,
What would it be?
Would I wish for her
Or wish for me?
While we tell ourselves 
What good we are
We keep on telling ourselves 
The way we are

This world is burning alive
While we do not see
This world is burning alive
While we fall asleep

While we tell ourselves on and on 
That we will make up for it again 
Bound by the chain of suffering
She waits for the dawning of mental growing
The abuse feels like home by now
The abuse feels like home, like home

This world is burning alive
While we do not see
This world is burning alive
While we fall asleep

Let her flames devour the indifferent ones
May at least this be granted
She would had OD´ed long ago
But she wasn´t able to
She felt love for love for us
She felt love for love for us
She felt love for love for us
She felt love for love for us
Unable to hate
She didn't even know that there was hate
And rape and war
She never needed all of that
