Modernisation

Falling into the abyss from a different direction
Feeling of terror that had never been mentioned
All forms of life floating around you
Who’s the intruder, their look just astounds you

I’m the attacker they think to themselves
Their to be avoided if I want to keep my health
Who are the sane ones in the goldfish bowl
Who’s right, who’s wrong, in the end no-one knows

We came to a country unknown to ourselves
In the name of peace we were told we could help
The people who met us threw garlands of flowers
The people in hiding, threw something else

In a nation of countries bonded together by fear
The many are good the few don’t welcome us here
The day times are hot, yet we walk in our gear
The night times are hot but in a different sphere

Are we really helping do they still sing our praises
Telling them what to do leaves them no airs and graces
They are a proud nation, let them complete
The job that we started but will end in defeat

Who wants the aftermath and blood on their hands
It’s a no win situation but life demands
We help one another until it’s all over
To get back our lives, to have peace with one another
