Verse 1) Yo, the board is set, the pieces move, a chess game cold Diplomacy fails, a story too often told Lines in the sand, drawn with fear, not with pride When compromise crumbles, where else can we hide? They say it's the last resort, the bitter, final call For nations to stand, before empires fall. The world watches, holding its breath, what's next? When reason breaks down, and peace becomes hexed. (Chorus) But the cost ain't counted in dollars or land's gain, It's silent screams rising, a hurricane of pain. Every life a story, cut short by the fire, A mother's lament, fueled by war's pyre. The ground drinks blood, the sky rains ash and dust, No winners truly, just broken pieces and rust. (Verse 2) Young souls answering, leaving all they knew, Facing the fury, seeing the world anew. Not for the glory, but for what they believe, Though the images haunt, and the spirit will grieve. While families scatter, seeking safe, distant ground, The echoes of explosions, a chilling, constant sound.
