BATTLEFIELD 2016-01-30




The ruins of buildings are scarred
Sniper’s alley deserted
The town liberated
Tanks remain in the battered streets

Chorus
Where can we go when there is no hope
How can we cope
When the bombs blast
And you know it’ll last

Shrapnel and bullets in concrete, in hospital walls
Fighter pilots on tactical missions of surgical precision
Collateral damage with civilian casualty tolls
Because of a strategic target decision

Stretchers, ambulances, armored cars
The noise of battle can be heard from afar
The land is torn apart

Long after, in deadly silence reloaded
The mine sweepers slowly proceeded
And wire triggered booby traps exploded
