Tensions were rising
Encircled by death
Hard years of fighting
Until the siege was at rest
Drowning in sorrow
Loss of power and life
Living to see tomorrow
Met with death’s appetite
Welcome to genocide
Caught in a firefight
Bloodshed, insanity
We’ve reached the end of the line
This city besieged
When freedom was seized
The people deceived
By the ones they called their own
Turmoil and pain
The streets were blood stained
But hope remained
Through wartorn atrocities
The shroud of tragedy
Structures decayed
Wounds cemented like tattoos
The memories still remain
Carry the flag of hope
Face conflict and crisis
Cries in songs that were wrote
Made the torn stand united
