Where are we now?
Guinea pigs of slavery
Murderers of our own blood
while we sing of freedom!Now complacent and helpless
Pretense of humanitySuffocating Pluralism
Covering to suppress
How we whine!
Of foreigners’ deeds
Decorations of covered crimes?What are we doing different?
How they turn into their graves!
The great heroes of motherland
Who fought through mountains and valleys!
