Song of the Mute Raven
A Forgotten Land Beyond the Sea of Lies
The dawn of a new day brings forth the dawn of darkness.
Stuck on the wrong side of heaven
Where prayers do not reach
And blood sheds more than tears.
Our cries don’t overlap the sirens of death,
Fighting for the flag till the end of every breath.
Walking well armed, witnessing kids playing in the sands
The war continues and I wipe my tears
While I dig their graves with my own hands.
Kids, elders offered no compromise
They live, waiting for their demise.
The memories of the dead wars with my smile
This war holds no merit
Killing millions, leaving no one to benefit.
The winter of solitude approaches, I stand alone singing my song
What has become of us? Killing our sons with the bullets aimed.
We are God’s creations, He sees all from the heavens above
Being the creator of such monsters, wouldn’t He feel ashamed?
Victims of law and order, spectators of mindless brutality
We fight the war, offering no love nor hospitality
You can hate me and push me against the wall.
But can you look me in the eyes,
And say the wars we fight is not wrong?
We lost so many, left millions homeless
Yet we continue warfare,
Deaf to the voice of humanity by the sound of bullets.
War was never the solution, ends with 3 letters on the dictionary,
Defining an eternity of bloodshed in reality
We may get the victory but at what cost?
A million medals can never replace the blood our brothers have lost!
Brothers in arms, sent to politics under the name of war.
Forced to slaughter by orders from people superior,
We are damsels in distress, to them our blood inferior.
You give us guns and order us to kill each other,
While you stand beside the flag with a heart filled with impurity
Giving the nation false hope of peace and unity.
We see what the nation doesn’t
We drop bombs and kids drop their tears,
Grasping on the soil,
Begging it to release their mother.
Yet, Everything remains unseen by the nation,
As it’s a news your media will never cover.
