Verse 1
Her tears still pray to Hama's nameless skies
With lurking reminders of those lives disowned
Back when the world turned blind, an oath of shame
An Alawite justice, fatal, a lie's brewing drone

Verse 2
She watched the smoke swell like insurgent's faith
Eclipsing distant gun's padder, bomb's frenzied aim
Having rivaled through the blood-brooding streets
Refuge was only a sentiment, she never was the same

Chorus
The black and blue decorate her escape
Dying comes too easy, that burden can wait
She is told to be brave, strong and move on

The terror erupts in her sleepless wake
Excavating memories, a journey she must take
She lived that day but the innocence was gone

She is told to be brave, strong and move on
She lived that day but the innocence was gone

Verse 3
Only rumors now walk, where once rebel ghosts
Spurious enemies adorned for their useless flail
With Ramadan's eve she fell under tyranny's swarm
While the purge for justice is the war they unveil

Verse 4
By saboteurs hands, the dissidence was severed
That "Day of Rage" lay mute, discourse estranged
Once city, now grave, stenched with shabiha honor,
In a moment, too soon, she knew she had changed

Chorus
The black and blue decorate her escape
Dying comes too easy, that burden can wait
She is told to be brave, strong and move on

The terror erupts in her sleepless wake
Excavating memories, a journey she must take
She lived that day but the innocence was gone

She is told to be brave, strong and move on
She lived that day but the innocence was gone

Repeat Chorus
The black and blue decorate her escape
Dying comes too easy, that burden can wait
She is told to be brave, strong and move on

The terror erupts in her sleepless wake
Excavating memories, a journey she must take
She lived that day but the innocence was gone

She is told to be brave, strong and move on
She lived that day but the innocence was gone
