“Fill the silence with your music. Fill it today to tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks, on TV, support us in any way you can any, but not silence. And then peace will come to all our cities.” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Lyrics
Outside the warlord rolls
Devil’s dice for innocent souls
We now hear his lowly voice
For the brave stand ready to fight
Hands joined by the power of life
And in the silence - in the chaos - defiance is born
These are the victims - the innocent ones
These are the victims - of war
As prayers rise into Kiev skies
Bombs fall the innocent die
And Peace is a broken word
Here lies an empty room - A lost home
A city in ruin
And in the silence - in the chaos - babies are born
These are the victims - the innocent ones
These are the victims - of war
And I can’t believe
This
Oh I can’t believe
A bullet flies - steals away the years
Memories rise - turn to tears
And in the Silence - in the chaos - sorrow is born
These are the victims - the innocent ones
These are the victims - of war
