Seekers of Death Sacrifice Their Own
A Nation that stands together holds a strength of courage like no other, this is a weapon so powerful no arrogant enemy can better.
Without needing a reason
Evil invades normal living
Hurling missiles raging down
Targets whatever it likes
Fear tries to flee
Nothing or nobody safe
Homes, Schools, Hospitals hit
Dismembered bodies litter streets
Death has his day
Counting colossal human cost
Body collectors tireless sadness
Bloodshed rivers flooding hearts
Hope rises from devastation
Weeping souls pray relentlessly
Everlasting peace ending pain
Clearing dark Ukraine skies
Liberated faces searching answers
Instead of airraid shelters.
