Digging graves – City buries dead

Angry tears falling – The massacre

Cemetery defaced – Age of pain draws near

A presence of troops – Termination inflicted

Civil unrest – Mortar shell exploding

On contact – Sacrificing

Cringing at the thought – That nothing can be done

To stop this madness – Dreams fading fast

Feel the pressure – Brain starts to wither

Absent warnings of attack – Designated plots

Arranged in order – Grisly reminder turned to grief

Discarded prayers – Fear of living grows

Depletion continues – At phenomenal rates

Voices screaming – Counting losses

Suffering immortal

Wounding opposition – Parade the streets

Victory accomplished

For time being, thinking you're safe – When attacks resume

Creating more dead – Wind of destruction

Everything is grey – Trees are gone

Nothing stands

Running through sniper alleys

Viewing with disgust

A place you hate – Killings everyday

Before your eyes – Burning corpses

Flesh rains down – Robbed of our defences

As other countries watch – Fighting for land and power
