Open Wounds
Verse 1:
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/
Chorus by Soseh (“Kilikia”)
Verse 2:
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 Ottaman'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'll 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 armybases/
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/
