Two Years And One Song Later Lyrics - Aus Rotten

Tuesday May 18th is a day in history 

It's a day that has been contantly repeated for years and years 

A day no more or less significant than any other day 

It's only a blur in the endless carnage and suffering 

That possesses the stinging similarity to the Nazi holocaust 

These atrocities, however, are happening right now 

It's just another day of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia 

Ethnic cleansing is the Serbian invented euphemism 

Describing the atrocities being committed against Muslim and Croatian civilians 

The war that began in April 1992 was predictable 

What was not so predictable was the cold-blooded murder of civilians, 

Nor was the massive deportation in over crowded cattle cars 

Of trains to concentration camps 

Upon arrival at these camps prisoners are sheared like sheep 

Denied medical attention, food and shelter many die in these camps every day 

The grass has all been ripped out to eat 

When it rains prisoners find themselves standing up to their knees in mud 

Only a handful of these prisoners bore arms against the Serbian soldiers 

The Serbian government has given orders that special treatment be shown 

To healthy women between seventeen and forty years of age 

Tens of thousands of these young girls and women receiving this special treatment 

Were systematically raped with the sickening plan of impregnating them with Serbian seeds 

And making them bare a stranger, which is then to be taken away 

The world strongly stated "Never Again" after World War II 

This may be the reason why most of the world seems to be ignoring this modern day genocide 

Tuesday May 18th, 1993 ws the date on the newspaper that held the gruesome picture of 

A woman holding a skull that once belonged to a loved one 

This single picture outraged me and opened my eyes to the ethnic cleansing 

I had previously overlooked as just another war? 

It was a slap in the face that I still feel to this day 

A constant reminder of the pain caused by human ignorance and greed 

Almost two years and one song later and nothing's changed, except for the death toll 

How muchlonger will the people sit silently by... as history repeats?
