War Wolfe X - Through Their Eyes

Out in the Syrian desert
You can see skeletons that remain
Without even looking they just appear
In numbers hard to ascertain
Skulls of women skulls of children
Are revealed as the sand blows away
And a story of suffering not widely known
Is revealed it can never be erased
Perpetrated by those in the state
The culture they take and desecrate
Incinerate the people the Armenians
Are the reason for their losses they will say
Decades ago massacres were inflicted
On these people see it through their eyes
Terror manifested in rivers of blood
From the men who were rounded up to die
And now many years have passed
You're allowed to exist even thrive
Many of your people even serve in war
That has started even on the front lines
But when defeat is tasted
The Ottomans turn with their eyes
Once again on your people they love to blame
Due to fear of fearing Russian ties
Centuries later they still deny
But the blood on their hands never lies
Centuries later they still deny
That expulsion wasn't really justified
But in the desert that is filled bones
What secrets from the dead are surmised
If you listen closely you can hear the cries
Of men women children forced to die
See it through their eyes
Through their eyes
Out in the Syrian desert
The last thing you see is the sun
Or the barrel of a gun or the hands of a soldier
On your neck forcing in you're undone
The soles of your feet are bleeding your parched
Your stomach is empty cry in pain
But any sound let out is in vain
The paramilitary laughs with disdain
Hatred instilled enforced by the state
Lead by the Paschas so fierce
Single out groups of minorities to die
As a threat to the state they will pierce
They resisted but they are attacked
Really you can call it defense
But it's seen by the Ottomans as firm proof
Of insurrection it's never making sense
They round up the men and slaughter them
In the streets consecrated with blood
Gashes are sliced so deep in their flesh
Limbs are severed or exposed to the bone
Looking on in horror are the women and children
Who are soon forced to march
Past the mounds of bodies of their men dying slow
In a river of blood hard to watch
Centuries later they still deny
But the blood on their hands never lies
Centuries later they still deny
That expulsion wasn't really justified
But in the desert that is filled bones
What secrets from the dead are surmised
If you listen closely you can hear the cries
Of men women children forced to die
See it through their eyes
Through their eyes
Through their eyes the suffering was real
It can't be justified by propaganda standing still
It can't be talked around or dismissed as a fluke
The lives that were silenced can be heard yes they knew
Through their eyes they were marched to their death
Millions of souls against their will put to rest
So against their will we hold the ones responsible
Accountable denial not accepted you'll confess
You'll confess
To genocide
You'll confess
See it through their eyes
You'll confess
To genocide
You'll confess
See it through their eyes
You'll confess
To genocide
You'll confess
See it through their eyes
You'll confess
To genocide
You'll confess
See it through their eyes
See it through their eyes
