War Crimes from Earthshock by Immaculata

Oh brother
Why can I not wake?
At an age that would not have been so very wrong
You were there to protect me
Protect me from harm
With a strong arm

My old night terror
It has seized me and chained me once again
In a timeless place full of shadows with no face
I crawl under the covers but my sisters and my brothers
Cannot wake

And darkness clouds my mind
Who am I who's lost all power of flight?
My nightmare takes me this time
And there's nowhere to hide

Oh brother
Tell me who to blame
Why does pity end and fear and loathing still remain?
Do we pray for a saviour to sweep the pain away
With a strong arm?

And tell me why does darkness kill the light?
And tell me why do we fight?
No-one remembers or forgives
If there's no-one alive
Like children crying in the night
And anyway what's a war crime?

If it isn't war
Then what's a crime at all?

Oh brother
Why can I not wake?
At an age that would not have been so very wrong
You were there to protect me
Protect me from harm
With a strong arm

Oh brother
I've no more strength to fight
I feel my world is dying
Won't you guide me to the light?
I can see only shadows
My chest if very tight
And it's alright
And it's alright
