I can't remember anything 01:46

Can't tell if this is true or dream 01:50

Deep down inside I feel to scream 01:53

This terrible silence stops me 01:57

Now that the war is through with me 02:00

I'm waking up, I cannot see 02:03

That there is not much left of me 02:07

Nothing is real but pain now 02:10

Hold my breath as I wish for death 02:13

Oh please God, wake me 02:18

02:22

02:25

Back in the womb it's much too real 02:34

In pumps life that I must feel 02:38

But can't look forward to reveal 02:41

Look to the time when I'll live 02:45

Fed through the tube that sticks in me 02:48

Just like a wartime novelty 02:52

Tied to machines that make me be 02:55

Cut this life off from me 02:59

Hold my breath as I wish for death 03:02

Oh please God, wake me 03:07

03:13

Now the world is gone, I'm just one 03:37

Oh God help me 03:42

Hold my breath as I wish for death 03:44

Oh please God, help me 03:48

03:54

Darkness imprisoning me 04:55

All that I see 04:57

Absolute horror 04:58

I cannot live 05:00

I cannot die 05:01

Trapped in myself 05:02

Body my holding cell 05:03

05:06

Landmine has taken my sight 05:12

Taken my speech 05:15

Taken my hearing 05:16

Taken my arms 05:17

Taken my legs 05:18

Taken my soul 05:20

Left me with life in hell. 05:21

Lyrics:

[English]

I can't remember anything

Can't tell if this is true or dream

Deep down inside I feel to scream

This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me

I'm waking up, I cannot see

That there is not much left of me

Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh please God, wake me

...

Back in the womb it's much too real

In pumps life that I must feel

But can't look forward to reveal

Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me

Just like a wartime novelty

Tied to machines that make me be

Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh please God, wake me

...

Now the world is gone, I'm just one

Oh God help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh please God, help me

...

Darkness imprisoning me

All that I see

Absolute horror

I cannot live

I cannot die

Trapped in myself

Body my holding cell

...

Landmine has taken my sight

Taken my speech

Taken my hearing

Taken my arms

Taken my legs

Taken my soul

Left me with life in hell.
