As we all marched ahead

In the early hours it began

Letter in my pocket still unread

The fire lit the sky went red..

As we drew near the smell of death

Treading through the heavy silence left

*

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred..

I was wrong

Torn up, reborn the way they made me

It's not long now..

I tried in vain to look away

the tragic sight of what remained

Wiped off the atlas our birth place

Those of us who still survived

Took to the hills before they came

Me my knife and my rifle sat in wait

*

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred..

I was wrong

Torn up, reborn the way they made me

It's not long now

My love letter folded out

My last chance I did it now

I began to hear her read aloud

"don't you fill your heart with hate

No matter what this world will take

Our love must not, be disgraced."

*

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred..

You were right

Torn up, reborn the way they made me

It's not long now, it's not long now

~

Don't you fill your heart with hate

No matter what this world will take

Our love must not, be disgraced
