  • Six million souls lost to thin air
    Are wandering the earth again
    Lives, not numbers

    All these ghosts, sons of mothers
    History is empty arms
    It's just one thing after another
    And slowly we follow behind our boys

    One day I'll have a child of my own
    How will I tell him, oh
    This world, this world it is a good place?
    How will I hide the fear from my face?

    How do you sleep with all that you've done?
    Sending somebody else's son to die
    For things no one believes in
    Saluting your own charade
    As we line up in this heartless parade Writer/s: NERINA NATASHA GEORGINA PALLOT
