Two Years And One Song Later Letra

Tuesday May 18th is a day in history It's a day that has been contantly repeated for years and years A day no more or less significant than any other day It's only a blur in the endless carnage and suffering That possesses the stinging similarity to the Nazi holocaust These atrocities, however, are happening right now It's just another day of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia Ethnic cleansing is the Serbian invented euphemism Describing the atrocities being committed against Muslim and Croatian civilians The war that began in April 1992 was predictable What was not so predictable was the cold-blooded murder of civilians, Nor was the massive deportation in over crowded cattle cars Of trains to concentration camps Upon arrival at these camps prisoners are sheared like sheep Denied medical attention, food and shelter many die in these camps every day The grass has all been ripped out to eat When it rains prisoners find themselves standing up to their knees in mud Only a handful of these prisoners bore arms against the Serbian soldiers The Serbian government has given orders that special treatment be shown To healthy women between seventeen and forty years of age Tens of thousands of these young girls and women receiving this special treatment Were systematically raped with the sickening plan of impregnating them with Serbian seeds And making them bare a stranger, which is then to be taken away The world strongly stated "Never Again" after World War II This may be the reason why most of the world seems to be ignoring this modern day genocide Tuesday May 18th, 1993 ws the date on the newspaper that held the gruesome picture of A woman holding a skull that once belonged to a loved one This single picture outraged me and opened my eyes to the ethnic cleansing I had previously overlooked as just another war? It was a slap in the face that I still feel to this day A constant reminder of the pain caused by human ignorance and greed Almost two years and one song later and nothing's changed, except for the death toll How muchlonger will the people sit silently by... as history repeat
