Can you hear their cries?   Nowhere can the children run to hide   Crimson rivers      Flow down the hills   Atone our ills   And woe to all her songs of love      A farewell to arms      Mutilated lives   Blackening as coffin line the sides   Filled with fathers      Who has won?   When only sons   Hold their grieving heads and mourn      A farewell to arms      Always our souls entwine   Erase this vast divide   Deaf ears our voices rest   Tyrant, this is protest      Who has won?   Yes, who has won?      [Chorus:]   I’ll wave this flag of white   So the venged see the light   We’ll pay for closed eyes   With our genocide      Piercing the masquerade   March to the death parade   Trade no humanity   For pearls of the slavery      In the depth of mind the heart will I find   The truth of our leader   We’ll try the facts so through the cracks   May fall the lying cheater      Who has won when we’re all dead?      [Chorus]      So is this how we live?   Or is this how we die?      Black blood dripping from platinum fangs   Rich blood flees while   Our poverty hangs      Shepherds they herd the mindless trance   As the flock follows the puppet’s dance   In a fatal romance      [Solo: Demmel]      All that they needed was   A pretext, war’s next   Heads to the chopping blocks   And our necks are next   For those we died   Who fought for our rights   Whose children now slaves   They’re turning in their graves      War hawks and senators   They sit tight, so trite   Never their sons will know   What it’s like to fight   But soldiers are dead   And children have bled   And the silence is numb   What have we become?      God save us      A farewell to Arms
