FOR UKRAINE

FOR UKRAINE 

An inhuman wail

Rises...

Run life, run

For breath

And survival...

The innocent lay

Awake under earth

Some sprawl across 

Rubble...

Loud man made

Thunder, claps 

And down fall fireballs

Burning brave fighting lives

And bricks standing tall!

The pitter-patter of

Little feet ring out

On deaf asphalt...

Frightened eyes

Seek Arma to embrace...

Youth stolen

By war disgrace!

Enough! Be done 

With it...

This is a battle of 

Cruel vanity

And greed...

Lay them down

Those weapons in

Your hands...

Sound no more

The not human

Wails...

Hold back them

Fireballs

That burn and kill...

Rebuild the broken 

Piece together 

All that is torn...

Collect o safety the

Runaways unblamed

On their home soil

Let all in peace unite...

For innocence sake

Stop this war-fight...!
