| Are you ready to crawl | |
| On bloody skinned knees | |
| To the sound of bullets | |
| And bombing in seas? | |
| Are you ready to fall | |
| From your safe perch up high | |
| To the trenches below | |
| Where you'll be asked to comply? | |
| Are you ready to take it | |
| Face down like a pig | |
| Squealing in agony | |
| While they ask you to sing? | |
| Are you ready to hide | |
| Everything you know | |
| Every last emotion | |
| Without letting it show? | |
| Can you wake up | |
| Just one more time? | |
| Can you get up | |
| Pretend you feel fine? | |
| Best wishes | |
| And warmest regards | |
| Are you ready to color | |
| All the pages with grey | |
| Let all of the memories | |
| Every last word go away? | |
| Are you ready to scratch | |
| At the scars not yet healed | |
| At the feet of your enemy | |
| Like grapes ripped from peels? | |
| Are you ready to squander | |
| The things you don't have | |
| On the things you don't need | |
| Without getting sad? | |
| Are you ready to cut off | |
| Every semblance of being | |
| All of your senses including | |
| Not knowing, not seeing? | |
| Can you wake up | |
| Just one more time? | |
| Can you get up | |
| Pretend you feel fine? | |
| Can you wake up | |
| Just one more time? | |
| Can you get up | |
| Pretend you feel fine? | |
| Best wishes | |
| And warmest regards | |
| Are you ready to spread | |
| All your dignity, all your hope | |
| Open like legs and you're naked | |
| On a strange unmade bed? | |
| Are you prepared to surrender | |
| The flag that is your own | |
| And call whatever far away | |
| Your last home? | |
| Are you ready to have nothing? | |
| Ready to be nothing? | |
| Ready not to feel? | |
| Ready to be over? | |
| And it to not know | |
| That the worst is real? | |
| Can you wake up | |
| Just one more time? | |
| Can you get up | |
| Pretend it's all fine? | |
| Can you wake up | |
| One more time? | |
| You'll have to pretend | |
| That it's all fine | |
| My best wishes | |
| My warmest regards | |
| Yours truly, truly yours | |
| Yours truly, truly yours | |
| Best wishes, warmest regards |
