The lyrics: Behold! The earth is torn asunder, its fields now graves, its rivers blood! The sky, once bright, is choked with fire, smoke and cinders blot the sun! Children wail—oh, mothers weep! The walls of home, now dust and ruin, the echoes of laughter—silenced, crushed beneath the boots of men who march to death, to glory—what vain deceit! Lo! The cannon’s roar!—it speaks no reason, only hunger, only wrath! Steel against flesh, man against man, and for what? For banners? For thrones? For the whispers of kings who sit afar, drunk on power, blind to sorrow? Who shall mourn the nameless fallen? Who shall gather the shattered bones? Only the wind, the bitter wind, to sing of war… and nothing more. ------------------------------------------------ The earth trembles beneath iron heels, smoke coils in the air, thick as the breath of the dying. Shadows move where cities once stood, whispers of names lost in the wind. The hungry wail, but silence answers. The wounded call, but the sky does not weep. Only fire speaks, only the sword replies, the world consumed in its ceaseless hunger! Who among them hears the voices? Who among them sees the ruin? Who among them will answer for this? Not the dead! Not the nameless! The fire devours! The fire devours! The score https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P-poljpB6nRlvsUuGV0dGSAWHhRmJ9oK/view?usp=sharing
