Original song I wrote a few years ago about war in Syria. Current events brought me back to it 💔
LYRICS
I looked to the stars five years ago
Said thank you, never mind
I think maybe you helped me lose my mind
God sent arrays of pellets and screaming
As I knelt, never mind
I guess maybe I’ll stand soon by your side
It's starting to feel too common
And that’s what makes it unfair
I’m losing it, but who’s to care
It’s a million and one man
And in the sand, my brothers and my friends
Let there be no more
Oh there’s no favours
This is war
Famous, on tv, for show
Argument sake, never mind
Give me that gun, screw it I'll go front line
I was built for piano, strings of guitar, never mind
These fingers flex on cold steel then fire
Although it’s become too common
Even to the likes of despair
She’s barely breathing, while I’m still here screaming
It’s a million and one man
And in the sand, my brothers and my friends
Let there be no more
Oh there’s no favours
This is war
As dust rises from my feet
Sweat to my glare
I instead imagine you in my arms
And smile as I’m hit square
It’s a million and one man
And in the sand, my brothers and my friends
Let there be no more
Oh there’s no favours
This is war
