Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
If the strain proves too much
Give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes
Stay in your room all day
ย
When the room fills with smoke
Lie down on the floor
In the declining years
Of the long war
ย
When the blood's in the water
And the shark's going to come
And we swim in the dark
Until our bodies are numb
ย
Blind desert rats in the moonlight
Too far from shore
In the declining years
Of the long war
ย
Empty room with a light bulb
When the phone starts to ring
Everybody gets nervous
Nobody says anything
ย
Next day someone's initials
Show up on the door
I think I'm going to crack
Can't live like this anymore
ย
Ugly things in the darkness
Worse things in store
In the declining years
Of the long war
ย
