Under Siege Songtext
von Venerea

I′m walking a road
From the old part of town to the mountains
The one I would take
To pick mushrooms & herbs as a child
To an enchanted forest in a magic time
Where a child could grow up wild
Before the killers came

They fenced us in
& The mountains were filled up with snipers
A thousand points of light
As bright as the stars in the sky
Our one line of defense was the forests & fields
Where we'd plant our mines for them to reap

Walk in the shadows
Life under siege
Walk in the shadows
Life under siege


For three long years
The only way out was a coffin
As we scraped a living
Bleeding our fair city dry
You can′t feed your child on resistance & pride
We were just out of supplies
When the killers went

We reclaimed the streets
We reclaimed the squares & the sidewalks
Stepped out of the shadows
Taught the children to play in the sun
But to not run & hide in the forests & fields
Where the mines won't be cleared
In sixty years

Walk in the shadows
Life under siege
Walk in the shadows
Life under siege
Under siege

I'm walking a road
From the old part of town to the mountains
Through forests & fields
That used to be 90% of our industry
Where my son works full time
Sweeping mines that I planted
Since the day my grandson became a memory


Walk in the shadows
Life under siege
Walk in the shadows
Life under siege
Under siege
