Leave My Country Alone

Leave My Country Alone

Leave my country alone

we’ve buried enough to wars.

we’ve wept silent in the corners

we’ve swallowed it, all your poison

with broken hearts

our troops marched on.

You send your lies wrapped up in gold

you call it news, you call it shite.

we see through your two faced parade,

we see the hands behind the blade

We want no flags that come with chains

no promises that bring us pain

no masked patrols at dead of night

no whispers dressed up as a right

We ask for nothing but a day

to walk in light, to work, to pray

to raise our children without fear,

keep your darkness we want light clear.

You’ve mocked our dead,

you’ve fed on our grief

you’ve carved your name like a common thief.

but peace is not yours to give or take

so back away—for all our sakes.
