texts into English (translated by Marietta Giannoulaki, Terpsi Manousaki, Konstantina Kypriotaki):
The soldier made his way home. The war was over now. He looked at the rising sun, at the pale blue sky. He glanced at his hands. His hands that had on them the blood of innocents, of people that he killed without looking in the eyes. Because he knew that if he looked them in the eyes he’d recognise the same despair, the same void within their souls. He’d remember that they, as well, were men deprived of their voice, who, in favor of other’s ambitions abandoned their own dreams and hopes. He’d look at the sun rising every morning and he’d remember that it’s the same sun rising above everyone’s head. And he wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger.
All of a sudden, the soldier felt shame (to be) returning to his hometown to the sound of trumpets and cheers.

White sky
anyone’s dream
The reason for a new beginning
and everyone like a team
we will scream freedom

Without freedom
I lose every moment a hope
Without freedom
I live without sun in a corner
But I made my sun, and my own road
with blood, sweat and tears
