The Ghosts of Ukraine

On the precipice of war
That no one asked for
A global threatOr something more localized
How long until
Souls are vaporized
Witnessed live online
War crimes in real time

The ghosts of Ukraine
Were breathing yesterday
The ghosts of Ukraine
Their lives were ripped away
The ghosts of Ukraine
Incorporeal state
The ghosts of Ukraine
Victims of Putin′s Mistake

Train tunnels packed again
With woman and children
Tonight underground Kyiv
Looks like 1940 London
Have we learned nothing
No lessons from the past
The world holds its breathe
In fear of a nuclear blast

The ghosts of Ukraine
Were breathing yesterday
The ghosts of Ukraine
Their lives were ripped away
The ghosts of Ukraine
Incorporeal state
The ghosts of Ukraine
Victims of Putin's Mistake

With her head held high
She walked right at him
The Russky was surprised
By this 80 year old woman
Fill your pockets with
Sunflower seeds
So at least when you die
It′ll grow something pretty

The ghosts of Ukraine
Were breathing yesterday
The ghosts of Ukraine
Their lives were ripped away
The ghosts of Ukraine
Incorporeal state
The ghosts of Ukraine
Victims of Putin's Mistake

How many will suffer
How many will die
Blood for soil
And national pride
Any calls for further violence
Against the proletariat
Only serves the interests of the oligarchs of the world
It'll only bring more suffering
To people no different than you or I
Never forget that oligarchs are the enemy of the people
No matter which country is on their passport
