Blood in the sand

Cages of smoke walls of fire

Eyes burning red with lost desire

Screams buried under concrete skies

Blood runs dry where the children play

Dreams shatter like glass each day

Who will answer who will stay

Blood in the sand blood in the sand

How much longer till we take a stand

Blood in the sand blood in the sand

No more silence no more demand

Towers crumble while the world debates

Lives reduced to numbers and dates

Who decides who seals the fates

Winds howl carrying cries of pain

Ashes fall like blackened rain

How can you watch and not feel shame

Voices drown in the flood

Hands stained with their blood
