Witch-hunt - Counting Down The Days lyrics

Counting down the days until the end of time Bid farewell to this beautiful world Bow my hat to those who tried To make a difference with strong convictions I'm sorry to report that your efforts were denied Bury your values Lay your goals to rest This plot is reserved for you In the graveyard of stillborn dreams Beneath the rubble lies the remains of hundreds of lives Food and medicine out of reach 1.5 million under siege 40 hours a week I hear their cries Tired of lying to them and saying it will be alright Your father's gone, your mother tried A child's extended hand is pushed aside Bury your values Cremate your hopes and dreams The sun does not shine in the graveyard of defeat Beyond the numbness you will find Thousands of children crying For a future fallen between the cracks Gone and never coming back US funded air strikes 40 years of turmoil Occupying. Undermining Minimizing. Dehumanizing Between the lines the pages drip With a million tears Counting down the days Until they no longer live in eternal fear
