Rule Over Ashes


In my country where shadows loom,

Ruler cast a pall of gloom.

When Justice Call,

Students stands tall.

They sacrificed their lives,

Answering the call.

They accepted martyrdom,

To bring justice for all.

 

To rule a nation

To rule a country,

Killing is the only key

Ruler thinks as glory.

Thousands were killed,

Thousands were harmed

Rule over Ashes,

Is the way she learn.

 

If cruelty brings you joy

Then you're no human.

If you enjoy ruling over dead bodies

Then you're no human.

A heart of flesh, full of compassion

In merciless acts, finds no fashion.

In false joy finds only hollow

A human's path they cannot follow.

 

Every single life matters

Is the song we play,

In the blink of time

Justice leads the way,

When darkness falls

We'll light the night,

With patience and hope

We'll set things right.
