Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
When the strain proves too much
ย
Give up right away
ย
When the light hurts your eyes
ย
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
ย
And the shark's gonna come
ย
And we swim in the dark
ย
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 swinging
When the phone starts to ring
ย
Everybody gets nervous
ย
Nobody says anything
ย
The next day someone's initials
Show up on the door
I think I'm gonna crack
I can't live like this anymore
Ugly things in the darkness
They got worse things in store
In the declining years
Of the long war
