Why?
Oh! But Why mine?
The blood of the slain screams
But, Why?
Why do I share that blood?
Why did I lose in your battles?
Here dead we lie
Is this the reward of innocence?
I see the sun setting
Never to be rising in me
The brawl of some men
In flames, the lives of other
They lie here, sleeping in deadly peace
Sounds of violence, their last memory
The book of sorrow overflows
Names etched in the book of death
The smoke blinds my vision
Oh! They return
To gather the remains of this mutiny
The stars shine no more
The glow lost in this annihilation
Oh! The celestial’s mourn this carnage
Who bears the answer to this holocaust?
It struck like a prowling beast
Shuddering, waiting for it to fade
Wishing, this evil to shed away
Time forbade to heal this wound
Who wanted it? Who fought it?
Who lost it all?
Why has humanity been forsaken?
While I lie waiting,
For that rendezvous with death
They may say we won
But what exactly did we win?
Is it winning?
If we lost it all to nothing?
Everything consumed
In the abyss
Tell me once again
Who owed it all?
Why was it paid in blood?
Ignite the flames of memory
The despicable mysteries
Left for wrangling
Lying, living, dreading
The sequence of the consequence
