Duty of remembrance

For all the spilt blood
For all the ones who died betrayed
For all the ones who died
at the hand of friends and acquantainces,

For all the ones who died
but never could be mourned,
For all the ones that only bones
could be found.

For all the ones who weren't given a chance
to live and to grow up,
for all the ones who lost their families
but survived,

For all the ones who still cry 20 years later,
For all the hatred that still remains
For all the murderers that are still running free,
For all the ones that hide the truth,

We must remember the genocide
and the countless lives that have been lost.
So that brothers won't have to hate each other
and die at the hand of the other.
