Lyrics[]
Yesterday or today, it doesn't matter
I opened a small box covered with rust
I’d forgotten what’s inside
Like I’d forgotten many faces from my past
All my dreams lies in that stupid box
With the smile of the ones I used to love
With the smell of the rain that used to comfort me
Everything was there
Even that strange taste of blood in my mouth
When I thought I’d to leave one day
To a better place, a better life
Sometimes I wish I had not found that box
Now you have to find your own
This time
We’ll have to make sure our voice will be heard
Anyone can take his chance
Anyone can step up and stop blaming the fate
There’s no reason to fail if we stand as one
Only will lose, those who have something to care for
We don’t own freedom, it’s a natural right
Let’s take it back
Coz tonight
We hope! We fight!
Let’s face disillusions!
Today or maybe it was yesterday
It doesn't matter
I’ve found a small box covered with rust
There was nothing inside
