(Dedicated to the largely ignored people of Sudan)
They're investigating war crimes,
Digging up mass graves.
The silence that you're hearing—
Comes from those we couldn't save.
You and I are here,
Witness to the cost.
Trying to count the broken ways,
That prove how much was lost.
There won’t be any trials,
Only the victims pay.
The ones who give the orders,
Will always walk away.
The headlines don’t mean nothing—
Just feed the scroll of fear.
They keep us glued to chaos,
Just thankful we're not there.
War crimes,
It goes by many names.
War crimes,
No one takes the blame.
War crimes,
The world’s gone up in flames.
War crimes,
We wear it like a stain.
We watch the ways they suffer,
In godforsaken lands.
Fertilized with hatred,
By warlords and their clans.
You can blame the leaders,
You can blame the banks.
Blame god and the gunmakers,
Who draw a moral blank.
War crimes,
It goes by many names.
War crimes,
No one takes the blame.
War crimes,
The world’s gone up in flames.
War crimes,
We wear it like a stain.
