Why

[Chronixx] Mhmm, yeah

[Maverick Sabre] Didn’t want to be a soldier

But I had to change

Didn’t want to be a fighter

But there’s no other way

All of this confusion and destruction

Done in my name

Little child don’t cry

Cause we’re struggling for when you come of age

Now am I living hopeless?

No one sees my face

On the fiction’s what we’re choking

Feeling it’s just all too late

All of the kings we’ve seen are long gone

It’s true when they say the good die young

Where are all the warriors that were once strong?

They’re just blowing in the wind

Why? Every time I rise within

All I seem to be is weaker

And every time my light goes dim

I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper

Why every time I rise within

All I seem to be is weaker

And every time my light goes dim

I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper

[Chronixx] Mama don’t you cry for me

I’ll be gone for a while

And I know this ain’t the vision

That you had for your child

Think of all the children depending on me

They need someone to fight

So many soldiers should be fighting but they are lost in the night

Just a soul and a dream gone pon the backlefield

Mama start worry and fret

Over her son ago dweet wid just a sword and a shield

Fi go step in Babylon’s face

I have so much hate for my enemy

My enemy is the man that I’ve never seen

But this hatred that I’m carrying

Taking so much of my energy

[Maverick Sabre] Why? Every time I rise within

All I seem to be is weaker

And every time my light goes dim

I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper

Why every time I rise within

All I seem to be is weaker

And every time my light goes dim

I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper

Our strength is deep inside within

Misled thinking the opposite

And our history’s replayed again

Uneducated, been so degraded

And this ain’t how we’re supposed to live

There’s nothing here but want and fear

When my light is low and I don’t know

All I can do is try

And ask myself

Why? Every time I rise within

All I seem to be is weaker

And every time my light goes dim

I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper

Why every time I rise within

All I seem to be is weaker

And every time my light goes dim

I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
