Death from Above

Dead Sleep


In the mind of the leaders
Death is just a number
Black figures on a page
The statistics of genocide
Death on the seas,
Death on the roads
Death from above
All escape roads closing in

This is WAR
War on empathy
Human decency
Flip a coin to see
Who lives and who dies
In unmarked graves will lie
All borders mean
Flesh used as shield

Ships, trains and lorries
To stack all our dead ones
Nameless, forgotten
Howling from beyond
Adding to the
The faceless army
of disenfranchised
All these lost souls

This is WAR
War on empathy
Human decency
Flip a coin to see
Who lives and who dies
unmarked graves will lie
All borders mean
Flesh used as shield
