A New Beginning
A hail of spent bullets falls to the ground
Joining the dead and the dying lying around
Blood mixes with sand in the proud and ravaged land
It signifies the end of war
The mad dog breathes no more.
The ululation of shrieks and cries fill the sky
A symphony of joy and grief produced as they cry
Mourning the fallen but heralding a new dawn
It signifies the end of war
The mad dog breathes no more.
The thousands of souls round the world that were touched
By a savage regime that killed many now hushed
In a pregnant pause of bathos, reflection and anticipation.
It signifies the end of war
The mad dog breathes no more.
We grieve for the innocent, for the martyrs we mourn
But here and today a new country is born.
The bloodied green flag lies strewn on the floor
It signifies the end of war
The mad dog breathes no more.
