Genocide



The torture the pain
The anguish the gain
In the Syrian desert they walk
Cannot fathom all the shock
Bodies after bodies enter defeat
None of which can retreat
A systematic plan to kill
Take away mans free will
Murder, rape, persecution galore
for Turkey it will open the door
to a Country of control and power
by ways of a coward
Wash my people from this earth
Armenians never to rebirth
Their plan failed for we are still here
They can never make us disappear
We have conquered Genocide
We can hold our heads up HYE
