    Uzak kaldim ben hayattan
    Yanabci sehirin catisindan
    Izledim ben gunun bitisini
    Karanlik icinden korkularimin cikisini

    Ulkemden uzak kaldim ben bugun
    Eger duyuyorsan beni – cik, gorun
    Soyle niye oyle bos oldu bu insanlar
    Ruyalari nerde? Neden bu yalanlar?

    Dinimden uzak kaldim ben bugun
    Gercek basit, sonumuz birdir – olum.
    Gel, kurtar sesim geliyorsa
    Cokmeye verme, benden hala umudun varsa.


    This is in Turkish, but I'll try to translate:

    Today I'm far away from this life
    I'm on the roof, watching people strive
    And I see the sun going down
    And my deepest fears coming out from the darkness

    Today I'm far away from my own land
    If you hear me, please give me hand
    And tell me why those people are so empty?
    Where are their dreams? Why all these lies?

    Today I'm far away from my faith
    I know the truth is simple - we all gonna die some day
    Come and help me if you can hear my voice
    Don't let me drown, if you still have any hope in me...

    Meh, the rhyme was lost in translation, but the idea is pretty much the same..
