Price of the Mistake

In a world that's torn apart, there's a story to tell

A leader lost his way, casting us under a spell

Started a fire, a reckless shot in the dark

Bringing war to our souls, leaving behind a mark

Promised the deal was sweet, but pain's what we reap

While innocent children weep, buried in silent sleep

He brags about the chaos, blinded by his greed

Ignoring the shattered lives, ignoring the future we need

This is the song of the fallen, the cry of the betrayed

Dollars and lives lost, in the shadow of mistakes that he made

Heavily we pay, as the world turns gray

Justice must come, to wash the blood away

Billion for rebuilding, while the rubble’s still warm

A promise of wrong, paid for in tears and alarm

Corruption’s the song, sung loud and obscene

While we're stuck in the nightmare of the scenes we have seen

He boasts about his crimes, but we see through the lies

In the ashes of the ruins, the truth never dies

This is the song of the fallen, the cry of the betrayed

Dollars and lives lost, in the shadow of mistakes that he made

Heavily we pay, as the world turns gray

Justice must come, to wash the blood away

No more silence, no more shame

Rise up now, break free from the chains

Justice for the innocent, truth for the brave

Let the world remember the price of his name

We won’t forget the pain, we won’t bow in despair

Stand tall in hope, for justice is fair

History will judge, truth will prevail

Our voices united, telling the tale
