The harrowing news continues
to shock, disgust and terrify
Tales of the most evil war crimes  
appall, anger and horrify

Russia proclaims that it’s all lies
and I think I would say the same 
If my army’s reputation  
was now one of ultimate shame

A soldier has a job to do 
and that is to serve and protect
Their brave and loyal duty 
carried out with honor and respect

It would seem that Russia’s soldiers 
do not hold these qualities 
What kind of human being 
is capable of such atrocities  

I wonder how they recruit them
these sad excuses of mankind 
Who signed up to serve their country 
and left their consciences behind 

We all knew that this war would bring
death, bloodshed and desperation 
But no one could have imagined 
the extent of mass devastation 

The news never fails to shock
such evil acts taking place 
The fact that this is our word today 
is truly a monumental disgrace
