Little Piece of Land

from Feast of Magic by Abhi Ktori

/

lyrics

We fight for what we think is true,
for God and the kingdom come.
We march behind that waiving flag,
the beating of the drum.
We fight because of borders,
and that little piece of land.

They pressed us into uniforms.
We learned the games of war.
But were we quite prepared for what we did
and what we saw?
There’s mud and twisted metal
where the forest used to stand.
Just burgers and the barbed wire
on this little piece of land.

The drone of heavy engines,
the echo of a scream,
this talk of liberation,
was it nothing but a dream?
One man’s idea of freedom,
was it really what you planned?
From the frying pan to the fire,
on this little piece of land.

There must be good men fighting,
in the colors of the brute.
For I know there’s monsters hidden,
in the lining of a suit.
And who’ll be the most respected,
when the city meets the sand?
The henchman or the heroes
of this little piece of land?

I’m fighting you tonight
because I’m scared of what I feel.
I’m fighting you tonight
because I’m scared of what is real.
I opened up my heart enough
to open up my hands.
But I’m busy clinging to this rock,
my little piece of land.
