Aus Rotten - Two Years And One Song Later Lyrics
Tuesday May 18th is a day in historyIt's a day that has been contantly repeated for years and yearsA day no more or less significant than any other dayIt's only a blur in the endless carnage and sufferingThat possesses the stinging similarity to the Nazi holocaustThese atrocities, however, are happening right nowIt's just another day of ethnic cleansing in BosniaEthnic cleansing is the Serbian invented euphemismDescribing the atrocities being committed against Muslim and Croatian civiliansThe war that began in April 1992 was predictableWhat was not so predictable was the cold-blooded murder of civilians,Nor was the massive deportation in over crowded cattle carsOf trains to concentration campsUpon arrival at these camps prisoners are sheared like sheepDenied medical attention, food and shelter many die in these camps every dayThe grass has all been ripped out to eatWhen it rains prisoners find themselves standing up to their knees in mudOnly a handful of these prisoners bore arms against the Serbian soldiersThe Serbian government has given orders that special treatment be shownTo healthy women between seventeen and forty years of ageTens of thousands of these young girls and women receiving this special treatmentWere systematically raped with the sickening plan of impregnating them with Serbian seedsAnd making them bare a stranger, which is then to be taken awayThe world strongly stated "Never Again" after World War IIThis may be the reason why most of the world seems to be ignoring this modern day genocideTuesday May 18th, 1993 ws the date on the newspaper that held the gruesome picture ofA woman holding a skull that once belonged to a loved oneThis single picture outraged me and opened my eyes to the ethnic cleansingI had previously overlooked as just another war?It was a slap in the face that I still feel to this dayA constant reminder of the pain caused by human ignorance and greedAlmost two years and one song later and nothing's changed, except for the death tollHow much longer will the people sit silently by... as history repeats?
