                          As I fly from the rim of this weapon,             With the same breezy carriage
                                    I and my siblings                            I and my siblings

                               Adore this beautiful world.                     Used almost everyday
                           Full of wonder and void of nothing                      To reach Hell.

                           At this moment of ephemeral truth           In my country's border of pastel hues
                              I simply just want to convey             Where soldiers fight and severe limbs

                              That after staying in my shell          Of enemies on the line and little brinks
                                 A brief history in time               aspiring my presence to do the honors

                           I am amazed to look at this world.                   I am a coat of arms

                              The leaves bidding farewell                       A soldier's necklace
                                      to its creator                            And an Army's pride
                                   Leaving this world                            Still I ponder over

                                  With a dried up heart                          My need to exist.

                                   Still lively enough                         As your pain increase
                              To dance it's way to heaven                         I'm sorry to stay

                                  In this old world new                                within
                             Having the potential to regain                    Your abode of dreams

                                its love and smiles back                         Craving absolute
                              My existence only questions                             Escape

                               Whether the innocent souls                        And hope for your
                              should depart or get scarred?                           Healing.

                                  From life till death.                            If I reincarnate
                        The culprit holding my shelter of doom                I would want to become

                                Pushing this bullets back                        That enticing leaf

                           with forceful and agonizing shoot                            True
                               I, having no fault of mine                          Enjoying and
                              Nor any help to stop myself.                        cheerfully living

                          getting pinned within this satin skin                  Being the apostle

                                     of a gentle soul                              within nature's
