WAR IS EVIL ! (written & recorded July 2014)
Oh these old men
Foam at the mouth
They don't really know
What they are doing
It's always the same
Hatred makes the stupid
Once you're infected
You want it forever
WAR, is evil!
War, is evil
War, is evil
always!
A child lies lifeless
In its(*) fathers arms
And a mother moans
There is no mercy
The palaces are clean
And a few continue to make plans
For their only solution
That avoids the truth
WAR, is evil!
War, is evil
War, is evil
Always!
(*): We decided to use the nowadays rather rarer possessive pronoun "its", instead of "their". "Their" can be misleading and mixing plural and singular is not a good choice. "His and her", btw. was never a true choice.
The gender of the child is unimportant and undetermined.
"The child" obviously stands for all children.

**********************************************************************
Song/Video dedicated to ALL victims, regardless of nationality or religion, especially the children.
Originally offered with the GAZA victims in mind, this song will now be used to donate a few cents for all the war-victims (especially the children) in this world. Too many wars...too many victims...too many lies and not enough HELP. Please spend a few cents on my bandcamp page. I will forward the money to a reliable organisation.
You pay what you want, but keep in mind that almost the complete income of this song will be forwarded to an organization helping victims of war!
Support!
Anyways, this poor little song was the result.
It was written and recorded within two days, after Ralli has cut a video from youtube video footage, taken by witnesses these days from the war.
Later the video got edited here and there, but not that much.
The video is available at YouTube and is included here with this download!
This song came from the heart with the victims (and that "old war men") in mind and it came spontaneously.
Sometimes we have to do something, have to shout it out, even such simple and naive messages.
Sometimes the simplest messages are the best ones and sometimes they HAVE TO be simple.
"War is EVIL!". Period.
You can download this song and donate a few cents (if you want), which would be more than appreciated, cause
half of the income of this song will be forwarded to an organization helping the victims of the Gaza war.
Take care!
PS: There is one scene in the video showing shocking material. It was filmed by a witness (like the other stuff)
First I wasn't sure to use this scene, but then, sometimes we HAVE to see the true ugly face of war and what it does to the people and- in this scene- to a child!
