We are not afraid
The world is changing
and days are full of dark.
The sea is filled with tears
no one was ready to cry.
Prayers turn to verses
Seclusion is the essence
But even in this bloody mess,
you won’t see us back away
We are not afraid
and no, we won’t give up.
We’re swords that were forged with nerve.
We’re steel made for this war.
We are not pawns on a chess.
We’re got fire in our hearts.
Because we are not afraid,
and we won’t give up
Uncertainty is part of life,
but this is going way too far
The future is not in those lines
traced through the palms of our bruised hands.
But we still have our armors,
our helmets and our stallions.
Because even in this loneliness,
we don’t yield to viruses
We are not afraid
and no, we won’t give up.
We’re swords that were forged with nerve.
We’re knights prepared to fight.
We may stand before a plague,
but we stand, we’re still alive.
Because we are not afraid,
and we won’t give up.
