about

"Echoes of War" is a powerful and poignant song that delves into the timeless and unfortunate cycle of conflict-driven exploitation. The lyrics vividly depict warmongers, land grabbers, and colonizers repeating their history of aggression: highlighting the Israel-Palestine conflict. The song confronts genocidal leaders and oppressors, shining a light on the grim reality of resource plundering. The recurring theme of "the echoes of war" serves as a haunting reminder of the perpetual nature of these destructive actions. With a blend of raw emotion and a compelling narrative, this song is a passionate commentary on the relentless patterns of conflict and exploitation that persist through generations.

lyrics

Scholars and historians have now conceived that ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine goes beyond a mere territorial dispute, contending that Israel's actions are indeed a form of genocide against the Palestinian people.

Warmongers
Land grabbers
The colonizers
They’re at it again (the echoes of war)
Genocidal leaders
The oppressors, yeah!
Resources plunderer
They’re doing it again (the echoes of war)

Until we protect this territory
From the pestilence of Zionist tyranny
The global majority
Will continue to suffer
Until we defend humanity
And we stand in solidarity
The children of men
Will be no longer

Warmongers
Land grabbers
The colonizers
They’re at it again (the echoes of war)
Genocidal leaders
The oppressors, yeah!
Resources plunderer
They’re doing it again (the echoes of war)

Let’s not underrate the gravity
We’ve seen this picture play before
In theater of war against humanity
It’s clear to see
The annihilation of a people by ethnicity
That’s genocide
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
This current situation can’t persist indifinitly
Their apartheid entity
Must be dismantled urgently
Seem a paradox
They kill in the name of religious destiny

Warmongers
Land grabbers
The colonizers
They’re at it again (the echoes of war)
Genocidal leaders
The oppressors, yeah!
Resources plunderer
They’re doing it again (the echoes of war)

Dem seh, don’t forget about the Holocaust
But hurt people hurt people
It's a cycle that seems to never exhaust
How soon they forget the past
The once victims of a mass murder
Are now the perpetrators
Murderers, oh! bloody murder
The Butcher of Gaza
Modern day Hitler
A reign of terror
On the children of Palestine
Rise up and let resilience shine

Warmongers
Land grabbers
The colonizers
They’re at it again (the echoes of war)
Genocidal leaders
The oppressors, yeah!
Resources plunderer
They’re doing it again (the echoes of war)

Stand tall, reach the sky, Palestine
No more tears left to cry, Palestine
Into your home, they roam, Free Palestine
They seize it for their own, Free Palestine
Rise firm, heed the call, For Palestine
Tear down Gaza’s prison wall, For Palestine
Our children must be taught - of Palestine
You must have love in your hearts - for Palestine

Warmongers
Land grabbers
The colonizers
They’re at it again (the echoes of war)
Genocidal leaders
The oppressors, yeah!
Resources plunderer
They’re doing it again (the echoes of war)
