Lyrics

Smoldering city reduced to char, Black smoke chokes the ashen sky. Amid rubble, stench of death from afar Drifts - rot and hopes burnt, burnt to die. Muffled cries for help arise From broken concrete's lifeless tombs. A child's bloodied arm before my eyes - Detached? My gaze avoids such dooms. All subsumed by death's fell reign, Yet my hands bear crimed stains. Scrubbed raw, indelible remain These damning marks, reminders plain: We authored this abhorrent scene, In lands supposed our joys sustain. Our requiem of ruin, song obscene Wrought in Blood -- cannot disclaim. We avert our eyes, feign naivete Blind to the debts our comforts glean. But in unguarded nightmares' cruelty Truth seeps through -- this Hell our skies have seen.
