Mirror of Time

**Title: "Mirror of Time"**
**Verse 1:**
The earth burns, but no one sees the flames,
Familiar hands now hold grenades.
The fields, once of gold, have turned to ash,
And peace lies torn between empty words.
**Pre-Chorus:**
What are we fighting for crowns of steel?
For flags that never painted our suffering?
Every shot a cry for revenge,
But in the end, only shame bears the guilt.
**Chorus:**
Wars are just sandcastles in the storm,
Crumbling in nights so cold and so stubborn.
What remains are the tears that no one counts,
An echo of the wounds that time never heals.
Oh, tell me, when will we break the circle?
Fighting against ourselves, but the enemy is us.
 **Verse 2:**
The mother cries, her child calls to the stars,
But only the distant roar of cannons answers.
The cities are made of glass, but hearts are made of stone,
And every flag is a grave for those who are alone.
**Pre-Chorus:**
Why do we seal treaties with blood?
For boundaries no one ever understood?
Every hero a child of fear,
And the truth dies loudly in the storm of steel.
**Chorus:**
Wars are just sandcastles in the storm,
Crumbling in nights so cold and so stubborn.
What remains are the tears no one counts,
An echo of the wounds that time never heals.
Oh, tell me, when will we break the circle?
Fighting against ourselves, but the enemy is us.
 **Bridge:** 
Lay down your swords, lift your lead masks,
For beneath the helmet beats a heart like yours.
The world is a garden, but we plant mines,
And wonder why nothing blooms here anymore.
**Chorus:** 
Wars are just sandcastles in a storm,
Crumbling in nights so cold and so stubborn.
What remains are the tears no one counts,
An echo of the wounds time never heals.
Oh, tell me, when will we break the circle?
Fighting against ourselves, but the enemy is us.
**Outro:** 
The sky weeps red over the battlefield of vanity,
And history continues to write its song of sorrow.
But until we learn what "enough" means,
We are prisoners in the mirror of time.
