about

Track 8 is a slow and quiet song that provides yet another insight into the mindset of revolutionaries in Rojava. However, this time we're listening to the story from the perspective of someone who fought alongside their comrades during the Siege of Kobanî in 2014 onwards. "No amount of artillery can take my memories. I will never forget the brave souls I met."

lyrics

I’ve lost many good friends
Faces I’ll never see again
But no amount of artillery can take my memories
I will never forget
The brave souls I met

We stood as comrades in arms
With justice and love in our hearts
When we saw what they did to the women and kids
We were all duty-bound to take part
To give the people a brand new start

In Kobani I saw hundreds fall
All the darkness and the evil of war
My friends started dying but instead of crying
I dug my heels in the floor
Determined to take it no more
