The gloomy unease that weighs on those hills Intolerable, unbearable silence One that never changes War suspends the rule of law No faith in crying out like frightened animals howling to be heard above mortal blows Why does god not stab out our vile murderous eyes? Why do they not lay down and beg for mercy? Here in this place The marshes where bodies float Our minds were empty Leaving behind no memories All the better to forgive and forget What had to be done was done under all cost Why is there no protest from these people who are about to leave? An overpowering sorrow carried those people away They felt so abandoned they did not even beg for their lives Their silent eyes pierced into our savage hearts Will killing an old man make you less afraid of the dark?
