A song about the world watching Russia commit crimes against humanity.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
— Martin Niemöller
LYRICS
Is this fiction turned factual
Really the actual
(Actually?!?!)
Are you just killing time
The humanity crime
Watching the rape
Bringing on your fate
Is this fiction turned factual
Really the actual
(Actually?!?!)
Are you just standing by
Watching innocence die
See it in your “I’s”
Comes as no surprise
Is this fiction turned factual
Really the actual
(Actually?!?!)
Are you just a witness
To your indifference
Watching your rape
Casting your fate
