I can hear the scream of despair

It's shooting through my body



I can't speak or feel or see

I just can't believe it



Torture's laughter echoes through the land

The weeping children cannot understand



So much blood

So much pain

Too much death



No hope, no help, no end

The shadows of fear eclipse the land



Deprived of liberty

They will never laugh again



The mothers tears

The fathers sorrow

The weeping children cannot understand



Is this really our civilized world

Where love and reason stand as sacred words



If that's the way it is, then this world is no place for me
