The Silent Truth

In the tumult of a raging battle, beneath the echoing cries
Where shadows merge with fading lights, the silent truth belies
A world not split by borders, nor by rifles drawn in dread
But bound by shared existence, in the spaces tear-stained red

We gather here as fragments of this, once harmonious whole
Different in thought and creed, yet one in heart and soul
For pain, it knows no language, nor sorrow a flag does claim
In every mother's weeping eyes, the tears fall just the same

In the silence lies the truth, beyond the battle's roar
A whisper of what could be, when we choose peace over war
Beneath the scars and shattered dreams, a brighter dawn awaits
For the silent truth will guide us, past the darkness, past the gates

Feel the earth beneath our feet, soaked with the ages' cries
Never showing just the victor, nor the truth amongst the lies
It absorbs each drop of blood as if to cleanse our skin
Hoping perhaps from this soil, peace might grow within

Can you hear the echoes of the fallen, whispering in the breeze
Their voices carry many stories, across the oceans, through the trees
They speak of dreams unfulfilled, of lives too swiftly taken
They sing a sombre lullaby for the lost and forsaken

In the silence lies the truth, beyond the battle's roar,
A whisper of what could be, when we choose peace over war
Beneath the scars and shattered dreams, a brighter dawn awaits
For the silent truth will guide us, past the darkness, past the gates

For what is war but a mirror reflecting our darkest fears
A testament to what is lost through, forgetting our common tears
A child's laughter harshly silenced, before it can fully form
A lover's bed left cold and empty, never to be warm

Imagine now a world untouched, by the scourge of war's design
Where morning dew whispers peace, and all our hopes align
Children's laughter fills the air, free from shadows of fear
The old are left to ponder life, no more need for tears

In the silence lies the truth, beyond the battle's roar
A whisper of what could be, when we choose peace over war
Beneath the scars and shattered dreams, a brighter dawn awaits
For the silent truth will guide us, past the darkness, past the gates

Let us lay down the arms that serve only to divide
And walk the path of understanding, with our hearts open wide
For we are one beneath the stars, in the sun's eternal light
Divided not by differences but, bound by common plight

Remember this silent truth, not anger, hate or blame
The dreams and hopes and fears we share, are proof we are all the same
And never again shall division, see the light of day
For in unity, we find strength, and in humanity, our way

In the silence lies the truth, beyond the battle's roar
A whisper of what could be, when we choose peace over war
Beneath the scars and shattered dreams, a brighter dawn awaits
For the silent truth will guide us, past the darkness, past the gates
