Boonaa Mohammed - Sounds of War lyrics

[Boonaa Mohammed - Sounds of War lyrics]

I can hear the drums of war it
Is the most musical of sounds
Marching to the tune of
Conquered villages and towns
Victory as violins' cover the
Silence of violence
The thumping bass of mass graves as unmarked
Bodies meet their final resting place

I don't even listen to music
But this sound cannot be missed
Everywhere I go
The screaming sirens make me sick
As I reflect on the award
Winning performance most wars represent
Bеcause nothing brings people togеther more
Like war and pointless death

Politicians conduct symphonies of
Lies and deceit as the puppet master plays
Away his propaganda


For the deaf and dumb to read
Emptied magazines from shooting live clips
On to the street
Terrorist or freedom fighter
Both must defend what they believe

They are chanting at the protests
"we only want peace"
So masked police pull out their
Pieces and spray in harmony
Like, Boom, Boom, Boomboomboom, Boom
Now they are deceased in pieces but will
Not get to rest in peace

Cease fire, for an interlude while suspects
Are being pursued
Soldiers salute all in tune with what
The major asks them to do yes Sir, No Sir
In fact the war was all a blur
Everybody looks the same when their
Brains are on the curb

They are kicking down the doors
Rounding up the men as they snore
While women and their children pay
The highest price for war
Because raping is like rapping
Thugs holding guns while other
Men are clapping
They tie them up in chains give
Them whips if they complain

Can't you see it's all a game
Drones flying over homes by remote control
While teenage boys are chillin' just killin
In the comfort of their homes
I can hear the call of duty
They all want an encore
So his machine guns sung the
Most of beautiful of cords

Oh you didn't know
Muslim blood is cheaper than oil
They sell it by the barrels to
The Pharaohs and their boys
Nuclear A-cappela's will have
Any nation sell-out
And join an orchestrated effort
Of dis-united nation sellouts

Because weapons of mass
Destruction are nothing
Next methods of mass consumption
Oiling the instruments of war as
The crowds begin to roar
Playing Russian roulette with German
Lugar's and British bayonets
American shotguns silence Chinese
Bullet proof vests
War is international business

I can hear the tanks rolling
Holding their positions on the hill
Citadels ring their bells
As Hell leaves a bloody trail
Revolutions always fail
When causalities are less than 12
Years of age
Teens with rage will avenge their
Families' honour to the grave

I can hear the orphans as they morn
Closing their parents casket door
With the fear that their tears
Will forever be ignored
But we dare not speak of those who have died
Like they are dead say Nay, they are alive
Finding comfort with their Lord instead

Listen to the harmony
Of lobby groups and foreign policy
Zionist and western duets lead the
Melody of Middle Eastern conflicts
Dictators sing like choir boys
When their corruption gets annoyed
Democratize capitalism's lies of
Despising civil war

Because how can you hate war, when it
Is the anthem of the world
You either love it or you live it
But every nation knows it's words
Marching troops are hesitating
They don't know what they are dying for
While flying mortars are making martyrs who
Are smiling as they go

I can hear the flat lines
The aftermath of land mines
Giving birth to worthless earth
The most dangerous of minds
There are things much worse than death there
Are Kings in much more debt
You push a peoples backs against the
Wall, they will not fall
They will destroy it

It being the theme of
Humanitarian dreams and schemes
Providing aid for which they prayed
Another day for this concert hall to play
The magnificence of the grand stage
Get your tickets here today
For the battle of the century
Featuring people who look like you and me

This is our legacy
History books will soon know
Lights, camera, action
Get ready for the show
