Ghazza

The siren wails, but there’s nowhere to hide
The homes became deathtraps to those who tried
The prized city, so strong, was yesterday
They watch in horror as it fades away

Women, children, dying at the hands
Of people holding hostage their own lands
Still, minds of people mourning for the dead
Are easily corrupted and mislead

Deceived by those, who, fighting for a cause
Herd sacrificial lambs to lion’s claws
‘No cause without a sacrifice’ they say
The scapegoats, victims of their murderous play

The lives and dreams were shattered by the loss
Demoralised by the Crusader’s Cross
But hopes and dreams will never fade away,
The future comes, the past will never stay
