Red line

Red line
 

Be careful when crossing the red line
Your head can explode.
Be careful not to lose the blindfold covering your eyes
And if you have any doubts about this
Kneel down and ask for forgiveness.
Tell me why you fight
Why are your fists so closed?
The missile your hands launched yesterday
Killed hundreds of children at that school.
And you did not even cry
And why would you cry?
To enter paradise is worth any sacrifice
No matter how many innocents die
And the tears of mothers and crying parents
On the feet of this war
How do you see them?
They are only tears of blood.
What cry at the feet of intolerance
While you're sitting there in your tank
Tears coagulate in the bowels of the earth.
Keep your border well
This may be the last time
That you stay between the two lines
After all, you would be able to die for this
Your reward is your highest prize
No matter how many die
No matter how many tears you cry
Push a button is simpler
Than shaking the enemy's hand
But which enemy would be more deadly
What is your own guilt? Or was it your conscience?
You do not have to worry about that.
In paradise there must be no reason
To feel remorse
It's just another war.
And speaking of this:
What do you even fight for?
What was the reason for all this killing?
How many thousand years has this war lasted?
While you are there, I live
What will really matter to you
When you're not there anymore?
Hit by a missile
Or shot by a machine gun
Or who knows, tortured to death
No matter what happens
No matter how many tears of blood
Are spilled
Paradise is worth any sacrifice
Do not you think?
