In the night's embrace, my spirit takes flight
Shadows of the past cling tight, silent and slight
Familiar faces, lost souls in the fray
Echoes of a war that won't fade away
Memories burn like a flame that endures
In the heart of the darkness, the pain still ensures
Unknown faces, victims of the fight
A child's blood-soaked sock, a haunting sight
A house stands charred, its stories entwined
With battles that raged, leaving ghosts behind
Suffering whispers, both far and near
I shared what I could, though the end drew near
Memories burn like a flame that endures
In the heart of the darkness, the pain still ensures
Thousands had fled from a genocide's call
Families shattered, some couldn't stand tall
Help was so close, just a breath away
But they pulled the pin, let the chaos sway
A war so cruel, it twists the soul's thread
No one can fathom the grief that we dread
Years drift like shadows, these faces appear
Nameless, they linger, a whisper of fear
Haunting my thoughts, they rise and they fall
Yet life moves on, and I carry it all
Memories burn like a flame that endures
In the heart of the darkness, the pain still ensures
Of this forgotten war in Bosnia's fells
Where stories of sorrow still echo in shells
Memories burn like a flame that endures
In the heart of the darkness the pain still ensures
Thousands have fled from a genocide's call
Families shattered, some couldn't stand tall
Memories burn like a flame that endures
In the heart of the darkness the pain still ensures
Of this forgotten war, in Bosnia's fells
Where stories of souls still echo in shells
