Gaza - Marillion

Gaza è una canzone del gruppo musicale dei Marillion ed è tratta dall’ album Sounds That Can’t Be Made pubblicato nel 2012. Ecco il testo. When I was young it all seemed like a game Living here brought no sense of shame But now I’m older I’ve come to understand Once we had houses Once we had land They rained down bullets on us as our homes collapsed We lay beneath the rubble terrified Hoping.. Dare we dream? We gave up waiting For us, to dream is still a dream When I woke up, the house was broken stones We suddenly had nothing And nothing’s changed We live, eight people, in this overcrowded heat Factory-farmed animals living in our own sweat Living like this is all my baby brother ever knew The world does nothing. What can we do? We will kick the ball We will skip the rope We will play outside. Be careful We will paint and draw. We will say our prayers Outside the pitiless sun bleaches the broken streets The darkness drops in the evening like an iron door The men play cards under torchlight The women stay inside Hell can erupt in a moment day or night You ask for trouble if you stray too close to the wall My father died ..feeding the birds Mum goes in front of me to check for soldiers For every hot-head stone ten come back For every hot-head stone a hundred come back For every rocket fired the drones come back For thirteen years the roads have all been closed We’re isolated. We’re denied medical supplies Fuel and work are scarce. They build houses on our farms The old men weep. The young men take up arms. We’re packed like chickens in this town of block cement I get headache from the diesel. When it rains, the sewers too I had no idea what martyrdom meant Until my older brother.. my older brother I’m sorry. I can’t continue. You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind, it is said When people know they have no future Can we blame them if we cannot tame them? And when their hopes and dreams are broken And they feel they might as well be dead As they go, will we forgive them If they take us with them? Stay close Stay home Stay calm Have faith With the love of our family we can rise above anything Someday surely someone must help us With the love of our family we can rise above anything Someday surely someone must help us Even now we will go to school Even now we will dream to dream Someday surely someone must help us Nothing’s ever simple - that’s for sure There are grieving mothers on both sides of the wire And everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright But any way you look at it - whichever point of view For us to have to live like this It just ain’t right It just ain’t right It just ain’t right We all want peace and freedom that’s for sure But peace won’t come from standing on our necks Everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright But any way you look at this - whichever point of view For us to have to live like this It just ain’t right It just ain’t right It just ain’t right It’s like a nightmare rose up slouching towards Bethlehem Like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land Slouching towards Bethlehem It’s like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land Slouching towards Bethlehem Stay close Stay home Have faith I can’t know what twist of history did this to me It’s like a nightmare With the love of our family We can rise above anything Some day surely someone must help us... 🏆 Do you like instrumental music ?
