The Fortress

Blooddrips in the sand of a place we called home
The horrors of war turned our hearts to stone
Left everything we ever held dear
On a merciless path towards unkown frontiers

The daesh hordes left nothing but destruction
Cold-blooded cutthroats bear no empathy
For endless miles we dragged our weary bodies
Just to find a place filled with people full of hate

Fortress choking on abundance
Shutting out the misery
The dead piling up at the walls
A reminder of inhumanity

The border guards welcomed us at gunpoint
Cold-blooded gatekeepers bear no empathy
Through troubled seas we sailed our crowded ship
Sold our lives for a new beginning
Our hope, our will, our endurance they can‘t break
They will never understand it’s our lives that are at stake

Fortress choking on abundance
Shutting out the misery
The dead piling up at the walls
A reminder of inhumanity

Burn all papers, burn all flags
Tear down all the borders
For this world to see better times

The walls are in our minds

We are the seeds of a new world to come
