Our Wounds

[Verse 1: R-Mean] A bit of mystery lies in history's eyes Cuz in time the facts and the figures get twisted with lies The devil tried to kiss us goodnight But he hides That's how a proven fact is simply denied I am a victim - a victim of time Victimized by the victory of viciousness the system revised They say a century's passed - nothing can bring them to life I say our memories last - at least admit to your crimes I try to look these little kids in their eyes As they're watching their mother's demise She's cut - blood drips from her thighs She was pregnant - they're ripping her stomach - it's slit from the sides Just so they could guess on the sex of the kid that's inside They had us walking and walk in the blistering sun Sands of the deserts as far as our vision can run They had us walking in circles - walk till we starve Oh Lord, I hate 'em! - Forgive me, it's wrong but I'm scarred They planted the seeds of hate in my heart - it keeps growing My heartbeat's slowing My heart just keeps hoping Cuz we'll never - ever! - give up on our cause Cuz we owe it to all the people we lost [Hook: Soseh] Yerpvor patsvin trner louso Yev mer yergren pakh da tsmer Chknagh yergirn mer Armenyo Yerp paileh yur kaghtsrig orer Tsangam desnel zim Giligia Ashkhar’ vor ints yedour arev Tsangam desnel zim Giligia Ashkhar’ vor ints yedour arev [Verse 2: R-Mean] Refuse to give in - our wounds are dripping like bloody hell From brutal whippings to crucifixions with rusty nails But who will listen The truth is hidden Massacres and cruel killings To snatching our future kingdom and commonwealth But where is the promised help? They distance 'em from it Well, is this what you wanted? Man, it's just making me sick to my stomach Cuz Hitler has done it afterwards Following the Ottoman's example - can you handle me quoting this bastard's words? Cuz see in '39 this' how your friend spoke: "After all, who remembers Armenians today" - end quote Forgive and forget? - No History repeats - this leach is draining us - let go! This battle against hope We gather around We light our candles in crowds These tears land on the ground Each year standing so proud Together we holding banners and shout But it's spreading thru empty space that doesn't travel the sound? Nobody wants to hear us! The population just can't see thru the mess The way you treat one case determines what people do next Souls can't peacefully rest Till the killer's secret's confessed Buried in our holy lands that we now don't even possess It's taken Pardon my phrases, I'm blatant But all these nations are shaking the arms of Satan for the sake of army bases We're praying to God to make 'em admit it - we're still hoping But they still won't and that's why these wounds are still open
