Lyrics
Engineer- Are you waiting for them to kill me
Did you not get what he said
There's a big screw lose inside you
I will rip it out of your head
That's a mad dog on the rampage
If you think he'll change save your breath
Just say yes, I don't care if you love him
Princess, life has it all over death
Kim- I have a husband I love
Real as the sun in the sky
I cannot live with a lie
Thuy- Do you see now who has power
Do you still think crazy things
K- Chris will come to me like the pheonix
And he'll take me off on his wings
T- Your a traitor to your country
K- If I am then let it be
E + T- I am talking of life or death now
I am talking of staying free
E- So there it is now
It's time to move on
If you don't need me, I'd rather be gone
Two kids in love don't need strangers around
T- You just get out
E- Right, I won't make a sound
T- And as for you, come with me
E- No, there is a secret
That you don't know
There is a force here
I never show
You say it's treason
To keep my vow
Season after season
I survived somehow
If you want the reason
I will show you know
(Instrumental)
Look Thuy, this is my son
He has kept me alive
Now you see why
I must tell you no
T- No one must ever see
This thing you're showing me
That bastard fouls our name
K- My baby's not to blame for what I've done
T- You must decide upon
Who's side you're really on
You whored to make this kid
K- That isn't what I did
Don't touch my son
T- You must see how it is
When your my wife
Having that child of his
Brands us for life
No alternative, this child
Cannot live
K- No, you will not touch him
Don't touch my boy
He's what I live for
He's my only joy
K- You will not touch him T- He is my enemy, it's he who turns you from me
K- Don't touch my boy T- Erase him from tour life, even your memory
K- He's what I live for T- He's one drop in a flood, left here to taint our blood
K- He's my only joy T- Our marriage bond was sworn, forget that he was born
T- Of course you have a gun
K- Don't touch my little boy T- And now you'll shoot your cousin
T- And it's a US gun
K- And do not test my will T- A gun that lost the war
T- You're the corrupted one
K- I'm warning you T- Go on and shoot, don't wait
K- for him, I'll kill T- To save your bastard son you must not hesitate
K- The earth moves where I stand
I feel the turning of the wheel
I feel nothing in my hand
Not even the feel of steel
You will not take my child
T- You don't know how to kill
K- I have no other choice
What i must do, I will
Crowd- This is the hour
This is our land
We found the power
In our brother's hand
And from a storm
Pierced with light
Fierce and white
The lightning came
A brightening flame
To end the night
One man to heed us
Each girl, each boy
One voice to lead us
In a song of joy
This is the hour
This is our land
