Shadows of rainbows in the night sky
Crimson clouds bleeding nocturnal tears
Heavenly angels drop like holy rain
As smoke swallows moonlit terrain
The fires of war are feasting
On the victims of contested domain
As the dead rise
And the living suffer their last breath
Masked shadows dance
Unbothered in the face of death
They sing
And shout
And cry
For they know
When the clouds pass
Dawn is nigh.

Shadows of rainbows in the night sky
Crimson clouds bleeding nocturnal tears
Heavenly angels drop like holy rain
As smoke swallows moonlit terrain
The fires of war are feasting
On the victims of contested domain
As the dead rise
And the living suffer their last breath
Masked shadows dance
Unbothered in the face of death
They sing
And shout
And cry
For they know
When the clouds pass
Dawn is nigh.
