Melendir - Borrowed Time

Fictional Anti-War Rock Ballad. Song is made with Suno AI Pro Lyrics: Another headline, another name Another person holding back the pain They tell us freedom's got a heavy price But nobody asks who's gonna roll the dice Old men talking, young men bleed Same old story, same old greed They draw the lines on a their map While the truth gets buried in the chains they wrap And we've been watching, we've been waiting For someone to say it's not too late But the drums keep beating, the flags keep waving And we're all just living on borrowed time This is the sound of a world on fire This is the cost of a leader's desire Tell us who wins when the smoke clears away 'Cause it sure ain't the ones who have to pay No, it ain't the ones who have to pay We were raised on promises, about peace and love Taught to salute before we learned to question why Now we are standing in the rubble of a dream Wondering if anything is ever what it seems They say it's necessary They say it's for the greater good But greater for who... Tell us — greater for who? This is the sound of a world on fire This is the cost of a leader's desire Tell us who wins when the smoke clears away 'Cause it sure ain't the ones who have to pay We're living — living on borrowed time Bleeding — for somebody else's crime Wake up! Before there's nothing left to save We're dancing on the edge of an early grave Borrowed time... borrowed time... Nobody's free... when the truth's a crime... © 2026 Jyrki Brusell.
