about

The Syrian Civil war began in 2011, and now more than half a million people have lost their lives. Millions more are displaced and living in terrible conditions while the world looks on. On A Cold Night In Syria discusses the situation right now in the Middle East and touches on the aggression and violence of ISIS and the Turkish State.

lyrics

There’s fire lighting up the sky and mortars are overhead
The native people of these lands are now displaced or dead
And in amongst the madness there are thousands of refugees with nothing to eat
On a cold night in Syria

There’s angels watching over them with rifles in their hands
The protectors of the people every woman and man
And if you ever fought for freedom with them you should stand where the martyrs died
On a cold night in Syria

Hear the children screaming in the streets because mom and dad have died
This war machine's an industry, rotten and sour inside
There’ll be snipers on the rooftops and bodies on the ground when the sun goes down
On a cold night in Syria

So spare a thought, shed a tear, do everything you can
Their villages are battlefields, their cities overran
And there’s be fighter jets raining down hellfire in the sand in Kurdistan
On a cold night in Syria
