Stop the Massacres!

Stygian night, civilians fight
Sitting in fire, spitting out rights
Suspicion of cynicism, resisting outcries
Scepticism, self-inflicted, vindictive victims
Damaged and despaired
Democratic transitions, don't care
What will halt escalation and confrontation?
A new Tiananmen Square
Hold up the piece, let go of silence
All y'all release and bring home violence
Hold up the peace, be an alliance
Just some belief, make home asylum

Oh stop the massacres
Oh the loss of masses
Oh stop the massacres
Oh the loss of masses
Oh stop the massacres
Oh the loss of masses
Oh stop the massacres
Oh the loss of masses

I said turn the Nile into the new Red Sea
Turn that smile into a new enemy
Who's turn is it to start purging?
The mass occurrence of massacres and murdering (Murder, murder)

A tower of turmoil falls
While a baby daughter is being boiled
In the heat of the moment a son is tortured, his mother raped
A father constrained leaving stains as a statement
Who's to blame for their behaviour?
No saviour could reframe the painting for it is tainted in blood
Blue faces drowning, we on the cusp

Why don't we stop the massacres?
Just stop the massacres
Just stop the massacres
'Cause it will stop the loss of masses, ay
