Echo of Nothing lyrics

It's their desperation, the risk they take To flee the terror of the failing state Endanger life for just a little taste Of freedom, relief, and a sense of place Militias stalking the coasts for blood Indenturing captives in the desert Sun Traversing the open sea To feel the sand's opportunity All quiet on the western front While they cry for help in the eastern mud Refusing the calls to deliver aid 'Cause the waving flag is a different shade Suffering in silence Suffering within They break their spirit Break their fucking will Held between No man's land Prisoners Divide kin from kin All quiet on the western front While they cry for help in the eastern mud Refusing the calls to deliver aid 'Cause the waving flag is a different shade When the well dries up The bread has turned to crumbs They'll look down at the street And use the stones to speak Every window deserves a brick Every window deserves a brick Every window deserves a brick Every window deserves a brick Every window deserves a brick Every window deserves a brick Every window deserves a brick Every fucking window gets a brick
