WARS UNTOLD

We made the peace
But the bullets keep running in our veins
In our veins

We made it seem
Like we knew what we were fighting for
– but did we?

There’s a place in me
Where I keep all the wounds untold
under the snow

The more we bleed
we keep our tears on hold
In the cold

If we keep silent
We repeat the violence
If we keep our pride
We become the bodies we hide
For the next ones
To find

Our eyes don’t meet
When the waters start to rise, we look away
Too much to say

A dying race
have we gone too far, is it too late
for grace?

If we keep silent
We repeat the violence
If we keep our pride
We become the bodies we hide
For the next ones
To find

We’ve been to hell,
we could see the light
The end is near, our final frontier
there’s no choir
no winners
no cheers
let’s break the curse
it’s time to learn

If we keep silent
We repeat the violence
If we keep our pride
We become the bodies we hide
For the next ones
To find

(Lyrics Jutta Irene Ruonansuu)
