In Between

Rockets waiting to traverse the iron wall

Threateningly towering above it all

Targeting a homeland that's about to change

Every house and every home is within range and

From those cold days soars a breath to touch her face

When, back here, she opens up the tempting case

What she reads unveils a feel she used to know

Bring back images from thirty years ago

Don't you let it out!

When she was a child she often felt alone

Without family and always without love, without home

And she often wondered where to find her source

That's when history was just about to take its course

In between those rockets she was not afraid

For there was no homeland to annihilate

When she puts the old article back inside

Once again she feels just like the orphaned child

Don't you let it out!

Soldiers waiting to invade and governments who escalate

When psychopaths can play the boss and no-one cares of human loss

Raving nuclear armament, huge flattops, anti-aircraft tanks

And I can't sort thing out, no, I can't sort it, I can't get it!

Troops intimidating us with wild testosteronic lust

And a child is sitting in between, my home, where deserts should be green

Will childhood innocence transform to something different?

How could I?

Nothing grows on wrong, nothing grows on right

Nothing sees the day when it can not stand the night

And the situation starts to escalate

As bilateral tensions now exacerbate

Diplomatic ties were broken off tonight

Red alert proclaimed this morning nationwide
