when the dam collapsed
when the flash flood rushed downstream
most homes were ruined, most people fled
those who stayed behind
at the mercy of en'my troops
raped, robbed, tormented, scared to death
rest my love, and dream sweet dreams
never mind the world outside
enjoy the quiet, and feel the peace
while the world's on fire, on fire
surrounded by landmines
trapped with no water and no food
being famished, starved, and brutalized
scavenging for weeds
hunting dogs and rats for meat
while being shelled they risk their lives
rest my love, and dream sweet dreams
never mind the world outside
enjoy the quiet, and feel the peace
while the world's on fire, on fire
