Firefly Songtext

von Jon Oliva's Pain

As we live our lives like
A flicker of star light
On these battle fields
The smell of death is real

In fear of attack
In a night cold and black
Show me where I can run
Where no one carries a gun

The enemy lines
I'm now caught behind
Favor neither a side
Show me a place I can hide
This firefly

Try to understand this
War wasn't in my plans...no
The fight for freedom and liberty
Will go on indefinitely...I know

My life, my home
Is where I belong
Tell me why must this be
An unsolved mystery

Lives have been lost
Who's adding the cost
Broken families
Left only with memories
Of fireflies

Now we're facing annihilation
The end to all we know
Devastation soon replacing
All we used to grow
Can't you see the power and greed
That's sure to doom us all
They won't rest, now all that's left
Is for the world to fall

Now I can see my
Opponents as scared as me...I know
I know he feels inside
All those things we try to hide

The fighting must cease
For the world to have peace
Live and let live I believe
See what it's like to be free

You may just find
That somewhere in time
Together we all will be
To live out eternity
As fireflies
