Paika

You and me were brothers
Pre-oblivion
Fading times
You can have my paika
For a moment in the Sun
For my son

Underneath the seabed
In the somber calm
We grew up like brothers
Racing one another

You could build us a radio
I would build a bomb
They would try and smother the inspiration

Come the day the children have to choose
The roads were separated ones and twos
You got education flourished in love
And then

Living in the tunnels
Never see the Sun
Why? Oh, why?
I can see my brother
Despises what I've done
For my paika

Why? Oh, why?
Oh, why?
What world has done
To my dreams and fears
Merged into one

We are all prisoners of our own beliefs and chosen paths
Changing the future is our common prerogative
Do you want your offspring to benefit
Or to suffer from your own experiences?
You can choose to take from those who have none
Or let them build on the foundation you have laid

The harder you are working
The more you get to eat tonight
Paika

Living in the tunnels
Never see the Sun
Why? Oh, why?
I can see my brother
Is scared of what I've done
For my paika

I know how and why
I lost my light
As my chosen path
Can bring a blight

You and me were brothers
Pre-oblivion
Fading times
You can have my paika
For a moment in the Sun
For my son
Paika
