lyrics

Perpetrators crowned
and control given.
By grace of orders survive,
by the orders die.
The persecutors had in time
made us all give in,
defiled and made us lie.
No refuge. No shrines.

Grit is death.
Life is...
Life is throwaway,
decay,
degraded, distorted and flayed
to a pawn for the power play.

The camps are but a chain of distress
secluded, it’s either ache or repress.
Not by mistake but by design
there is no life, survive or die!

“A single death is a tragedy; a million a statistic.”
We’re suffering a travesty, directed by sadistic
executioners and slayers, we’re numbers to them.
“Death solves all problems – no man, no problem.”
