lyrics

This was a peacefull place before you came.
This was a georgous village before you came.
Children playing all around with their toys and their friends and their dolls mmh...
Teenage running everywhere with their friends and sreaming and laughing mmh...

This was a peacefull place before you came.
This was a georgous mountain before you came.
Lovers hanging out in the woods, and smiling and dating and kissing mmh...
Grownups watching them all, so happy, full of life and of joy mmh...

But then you came
With your guns, your weapons and your hate
Claming this place was yours
Because god decided so
We had to remain calm
While you were killing
Those who said « no »

This is a ravaged place now that you came.
This is a awefull village now that you came.
Children crying all day long feeling the fear that we all have in our hearts
Teenage trying to escape this terrifying place that has become their jail

This is a ravaged place now that you came.
This is a awefull mountain now that you came.
Lovers staying home all day scared to death to be caught, to be raped by you
Grownups watching all that wondering what could possibly happen to us

And now you came
With your guns, your weapons and your hate
Claming this place is yours
Because god decided so
We have to remain calm
While you are killing
Those who say « no »

This was a peacefull place before you came.
This was a georgous village before you came.
Children playing all around with their toys and their friends and their dolls mmh...
