"Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter".<br /> — Friedrich Nietzsche


The soul of the crystal rose bleeds from fear

He shall die before the sun meets the moon

All bullets are lost, the gun’s full of tear

Gets nauseous by hearing this Morbid tune

 

No, don’t let him close his precious green eyes

The last thing he sees shall not be ashes

The glory of this moment’s full of lies

Breath’s gone, his body’s covered in gashes

 

He goes, on the way to this endeavour

Darkness rules this tragic repetition

Marble of his heart’s whiter than ever

Gaining what’s not theirs , truth of this mission

 

Closes the jade of his eyes, counts to three

Cause is achieved, he’s ultimately free

In the memory of all Ukrainians who have lost their lives and/or are fighting with their hearts full of love for humanity and peace, WE STAND WITH YOU .
