Refugees
This song was born from the words of a nameless face on the TV screen talking about his journey. From where he was, to where he is now. Freeman, to refugee. It was more what he didn’t say as sudden tears would betray his calm exterior from the tortured soul within. It is the least we as artists can do, to help other sentient beings. We have to help each other, there is nobody else.

It’s only love
It’s only love sounds contrite, but it is what is missing when the vacuum left behind is filled by what is described as dark or whence evil cometh. To show love is simple but powerful and has a cause and effect and is better than the option of “bang bang you’re dead”. For humanity, for peace and not war. Nagas2.

lyrics

Refugees
We cannot imagine what their eyes have seen,
How they have even managed to survive,
Fire falling from the sky,
The choice, to run or die.
A nameless face on the TV screen,
Talking about his journey,
From where he left to where he is now,
Free man to refugee.
We've been through roads,
We've been through the sea,
With what we could carry,
Took the boats from Turkey.
So much crying, didn't think we could survive.
They poured our water to the sea,
Forced us onto the land,
Nowhere to be, Refugee.
Entered Greece, then on to Macedonia,
Directly to Serbia, Unfortunately at the border
They had the military men, And refugees had to pay,
A thousand euros to go, Hungry to Hungary.
Taking the road, So many gangs and thieves,
Very dangerous things, Things I cannot talk about.
We're looking for a welcoming land, where smiles come back to our faces,
Just want some happiness, Miss home, Refugees.
(outro, traditional Syrian lament.)

It’s only love
It’s only love sounds contrite, but it is what is missing when the vacuum left behind is filled by what is described as dark or whence evil cometh. To show love is simple but powerful and has a cause and effect and is better than the option of “bang bang you’re dead”. For humanity, for peace and not war.

Sometimes, we are prone to forget what makes us all connected,
It's Only Love,It's Only Love,
Sometimes we get angry and we show it, Regret it later, don't we know it,
It's Only Love,It's Only Love,
We go to war to protect our loved ones, end up killing someone else's loved ones,
Something it seems, doesn't want peace.

Chorus
Lay down your arms for humanity,
Even if at first you don't succeed,
Those causing all of this unease,
Are screwing with the heads of you and me.
What's wrong with your head? Bang, bang, you're dead x2

Look at one another, look at each other,
That's your sister, that's your brother,
That's your father, that's your mother,
That's your friend, that's your lover,
That's not your enemy, another sentient being,
Just like you and me, if only we could see.

Chorus.
