19th Day by Parham Gharavaisi

LYRICS:
Ten thousand lives, we were not enough
One more sacrifice for their god demands our blood
You saw us run then you bet on us like horses
When they shut us down and as the bullets flew
We were bleeding here, where were you?

So tell me what's the price of a normal life?
We never asked for much yet paid with our lives
Water, air, a loaf of bread, a roof over our head
We never lived, barely survived

The pillars of civilization
Were planted by our forefathers
How can you look down on us
From your ivory towers?
I can't ask you to fight for us
I can't ask you to sacrifice
You don't owe us anything
But the least you can do is hear our cry

Though his minions were more than eager to kill for him
When his time came none were willing to die for him
Thus fell tyrant

We all get our different share of years
Only nine was hers

You were never us and I was never them
So how could we understand?
The line in the sand
Between martyr and man
Always prisoners in our own land
With our fate held in anything but our own hand

Pillars of civilization
Were planted by our forefathers
So please don't look down on us
From your ivory towers
I can't ask you to fight for us
I'm not asking you to sacrifice
You don't owe us anything
But I'm begging you to hear our cries
