Sarajevo Hate Will Survive
SARAJEVO Hate Will Survive
I came in the name of He who gave you breath.
As certain as the emptiness of time,
as hopeful as your life, and meaningless as death,
I came to stay.
I came into your palaces, each holy place
as plain to see as Sarajevo's charm
dividing all, each dream of hope--you'll never see my face,
I came to stay.
No holy water, no excorcist's demand,
can quench your thirst; your need for all I am.
I fill your head with things not meant to understand,
I came to stay.
I breath your name, tormented you may seem,
and sleepless is your night, I fill your time.
I am the joy of life beyond your dying scream,
I came to stay.
I came in the name of He who gives you death.
I am the calm and blinding of the light.
Forever part of you, I am your very breath.
I came to stay.
