Neuronia - Alone in the Dark

In the dark, strapped to a chair
Screams come from everywhere around
Beaten, bruised, I swallow my own blood
The door opens, I shrivel up inside

Fingernails pulled out with brutal force
Cigarettes burn, stubbed on my own skin
I am only nine, what have I done?
Why can’t you hear my muddled screams?

Why can’t you hear my call?
Have all of you grown deaf and wait until they kill us all?

Help us survive
We want to lead our lives
Without a warlord on our back and fear that dwells inside

Blindfolded, chained to a hospital bed
Burns and wounds all over my skin
No one responds to my cries of help
The only answer is a punch in the face

Suspended by my wrists I have hung
For hours, days, don’t know for how long
Inside a tractor tire I’ve bled
Beaten up with bats and electric prods

This goddamned land where people take a stand
Only to die from torture by their own countrymen

Rivers of blood mix with rivers of tears
People living under totalitarism for years

Will you remember me?
Or will I die in vain without a chance to be set free?

Please listen to my song
Tell all your friends that they will help if they just sing along
So I am not alone
