CHERNOBYL IN THE RAVEN'S SHADOW LYRICS
Conflict starting up like flames
War drums echoing across the Thames.
The Tigris, the Euphrates,
The Indus and every Country's...
Lands
[As the Raven spreads her wings]
No one knows when it started
Forgotten which side to convict
Of a crime shared, disregarded
History's sacred verdict.
He who rose will one day fall.
The battles won are all for naught.
Fight for land or fight for oil,
Just lose the lives that you sought.
Priceless artworks are destroyed.
Countless deaths have left a void.
Cant be filled by all the spoils
Of wars waged for wealth and soil.
[There's a glimmer in her Eye]
Trucks and Tanks on rumbling treads,
Trails to trysts with their Death,
Try to trick their terrible fate,
Trick what's tempted by their Trade.
[In the Raven's bloody wake]
[where nothing will survive]
The difference's disproportionate
'tween entry wound and exit.
With each and every bullet,
Not just kill but alienate.
Those with guns, under flags,
Destroy more than they ever create,
Whilst the peasant eats the slag,
In the midst of all the Hate.
Lives reduced to media stats,
Children stacked in body bags
Look around and see the rags...
In the eagle's blood soaked flags
In the eagle's blood soaked flags...
The wolves... sharpen their fangs...
Lives reduced to media stats,
Children stacked in body bags
Look around and see the rags...
[In the eagle's blood soaked
SHADOW.]
