5 Years - Icefish

Take a look around you as they rise and they fall

Whose are these little birds twisted in the sands?

The resonance of tyranny echoes in the rubble

People on their knees, just like you and me

I’ve been part of the annihilation

Lost

Five years of our youth

Drowning

Taking safety in this wasteland

We have seen them drowning, surrounded by the warfare

Drifting on the grey walls, invisible colours

The price is paid, but the innocence — no time to be alive

In this wilderness do they not grow?

Left in ruin and extermination

Don’t turn away from us, poor man

Solace of humanity

There’s no shelter

Lost — five years of our youth

Drowning

Taking safety in this wasteland
