70 Million Graves
+
85 Million Names
+
They died so the World could have Rules
+
And now the Rules are being spat on
+
They bled in the mud at Stalingrad
+
They burned in the ovens of Auschwitz
+
They drowned on the beaches of Normandy
+
They starved in the Siege of Leningrad
+
They flew into flak over Dresden
+
They marched into gas in Treblinka
+
They gave EVERYTHING so that the World could say
+
"Never again"
+
That was the promise we made
+
They carved the Rules in blood on their do-in's
+
They wrote them in ash on their graves
+
They said this time the World would remember their ruins
+
This time, The World BEHAVES!
+
Graves of the 85 Million
+
Rules written in blood
+
They died so we could live free
+
Now the Rules are being drowned in the mud
+
Graves of the 85 Million
+
Sacrifices forgotten
+
The "Never Again", it's just words
+
While the next generation goes rotten
+
Now a man in the White House calls Leaders "rats"
+
While missiles still fall and their children are trapped
+
He lifts sanctions on oil so the war chests can grow
+
While mothers bury sons in the rubble below
+
He talks about peace, he talks about deals
+
While the graves keep openin', and the pain never heals
+
They spit on the memory, they spit on the cost
+
They spit on the promise that somehow was lost
+
They write another letter
+
They send another tweet
+
While the next war is starting
+
And the old graves weep
+
Graves of the 85 million
+
Rules written in blood
+
They died so we could live free
+
Now the Rules are being drowned in the mud
+
Graves of the 85 million
+
Sacrifices forgotten
+
The "Never Again", it's just words
+
Generation Time's forgotten
+
Our children will walk on the bones we ignored
+
They'll breathe the ash of the peace we never scored
+
They'll ask why we whispered when the sirens screamed loud
+
Why we wrote polite notes while their future was plowed
+
The ghosts of the past are already marching in line
+
The silence we kept
+
It was never benign
+
Graves of the 85 million
+
Rules written in blood
+
They died so we could live free
+
Now the Rules are being drowned in the mud
+
Graves of the 85 million
+
Sacrifices forgotten
+
The "Never Again", it's just words
+
Generation Time's forgotten
+
No more off-ramps, no more excuses
+
No more "measured responses," no more abuses
+
We paid in blood for every street, for every breath
+
You want to trade it for a headline?
+
You want to trade it for death?
+
SEND EVERYTHING NOW!
+
Or the blood is on your hands
+
They say "peace through strength"
+
We say "peace through shame"
+
They say "America First"
+
We say "the World is aflame"
+
They say "never again"
+
We say "again and again"
+
The graves keep on calling
+
But the World just pretends
+
APPALLING!

The "Never Again", it's just words

Generation Time's forgotten
+
From the outback to the frontline
+
From the heartline to the bone
+
We fight with ones and zeros
+
If the world leaves us alone
+
We could've stayed silent, we could've stayed away
+
But somebody must stand at the end of the day
+
(When the rest turn away.)
+
(When the rest turn away.)

The Rules don't apply when the aggressor is strong
+
The Rules bend and break when the victim is wrong
+
But we remember the cost, we remember the price
+
We remember the faces, we remember the lies
+
(No imposed capitulation)
+
Steel will not bend
+
(No imposed capitulation)
+
For dignity's sake
