Reincarnation by Trisna Claney Lyrics

I am a soldier
My mother told me
She said cry in the rain so they don’t see your tears
Or your fears

Miracle daughter
Keep digging the trench
Your job’s to provide, your mission is clear
You’re lucky you’re here

World’s not fair, don’t you try to think about it
Break you down
So we can build you up
You carry our honour, so we pass the flame
Your epitaph engraved

Her heart failed
So I could go and take her burdens
She made roads
So I could march along
I am no child
I am a martyr
A reincarnation of war

My mother is angry
My crying won’t stop
She said she didn’t survive to have a traitor like me
She wants me to leave

I am an exile
I don’t have no name
There’s no time for screaming, so crawl on ahead
Or you’re better off dead

World’s not fair, don’t you dare speak against it
Break you down
So we can build you up
You severed our honour, we’ll burn you in flames
Your epitaph erased

—

The world’s not fair, nothing you can do about it
We broke you down
So we could take your heart
Don’t let your guard down, the war never ends
It only extends
I am a soldier
I am a martyr
I am a traitor
I am a reincarnation of war
