Empty Words
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
News channels sugarcoat the truth
With tales of Israel's right to fight
While Palestinians mourn their dead
And Gaza fills with fear and dread
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
How can the USA carry on this way
While sending bombs to Israel day after day
To kill the innocent come what may
Humanity in disarray
For every promise left unkept
And every tear ignored
We fall into a pit of hate
The devil is our mate
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
They speak of justice truth and right
Yet inaction feeds the flames
And suffering for Israeli gain
History will record this shame
O world awaken from your sleep
And see the truth in Palestinian eyes
We've fallen from a godly height
Into the devil's cave
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
They speak of justice truth and right
Yet inaction feeds the flames
And suffering for Israeli gain
History will record this shame
O world awaken from your sleep
And see the truth in Palestinian eyes
We've fallen from a godly height
Into the devil's cave
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
News channels sugarcoat the truth
With tales of Israel's right to fight
While Palestinians mourn their dead
And Gaza fills with fear and dread
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
How can the USA carry on this way
While sending bombs to Israel day after day
To kill the innocent come what may
Humanity in disarray
For every promise left unkept
And every tear ignored
We fall into a pit of hate
The devil is our mate
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
They speak of justice truth and right
Yet inaction feeds the flames
And suffering for Israeli gain
History will record this shame
O world awaken from your sleep
And see the truth in Palestinian eyes
We've fallen from a godly height
Into the devil's cave
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
They speak of justice truth and right
Yet inaction feeds the flames
And suffering for Israeli gain
History will record this shame
O world awaken from your sleep
And see the truth in Palestinian eyes
We've fallen from a godly height
Into the devil's cave
Leaders sit in gilded halls
Eyes averted from the strife
They barter peace with empty words
And Gaza burns
