Birds, big and small,  fly freely in the wide blue filtered heaven

Unknowingly of the plans that will bring savage in their haven

The peaceful soothing of thin air beneath the several miles lake

Will soon be perish by the jihadists' cruel and inhumane overtake


There's a man fishing, dragging the net up to his humble small boat

While the woman in colorful duster cooks a flavorful meal for his coming

Their kids walk religiously with their friends in the peaceful road

Who will soon run for their lives without any further briefing


People roamed in a peaceful city, danger is out of their mind

Living and earning for their families, threats never been at their sides

Tranquil hours of lying back at your cozy bed will be deprived

By the hands of bloodthirsty, rebellious and vicious humankind


The music hummed by the woman for her baby in the crib

Brutal hands, monstrous mind, that sweet sound of music they all break

How shall we enjoy the beauty of the nature if war starts indeed?

Unexpectedly put in havoc, the peaceful city, the city beneath the lake
