Mortal Ossetia

Do you remember those tears shed in desperation
Or the voices whispered in agony?

Maybe you still feel the heat of the flames
On you face, to the deafing sound of your own
Moral and compassion's fall
You creed, numbed by ignorance, made you blind
In your mind all is an insane game
Innocent blood against innocent blood
Beslan burns in the name of people's liberty

Can you forget those children' eyes
Who you killed with you own hands?

Do you still smell those fragile corpses
Burning in the name of your own liberty
On your weapons piercing innocence and
Your bombs blowing dreams up?

Maybe your faith doesn't allow you to listen to it
But the same moms who cried in that dark September
Are still crying today
And in your country you are applauded as a hero
