One buzz-just a headline on my phone
Then another and another-now it won't leave me alone
The screen's on fire my hands are cold
Flashes of hell stream in real-time no warning no control
I see it all but I can't reach
I scream their names but there's no speech
Hands are tied by borderlines
But my heart is burning fire inside
From a distance I watched the sky turn red
Smoke rising where my people bled
Every breath felt like a crime
Just standing still while they ran for their lives
Now I stand where the music once played
Where the desert sun can't burn the stains away
Ashes in the wind ghosts on the ground
Cars like graves melted shot down
I see it all but I can't reach
I whisper names the earth won't speak
Footsteps lost in blood and dust
But silence here still screams enough
From a distance I watched the sky turn red
Smoke rising where my people bled
Every breath felt like a crime
Just standing still while they ran for their lives
If words were weapons I'd tear down the gates
If prayers were bullets I'd rewrite their fate
But all I have is rage and regret
And a love that won't forget
So I'll carry their names in the night
Hold the weight of their fight
And though I'm far I swear
They'll never disappear
