Cold Water
Silent Echoes of Border Tragedy
Lyrics
You can't pretend
You cannot feign or fake
That everything is alright
That everything is okay
While families drown on their way to a better life
While families are perishing in pursuit of a better life
Dead eyes wide open and water in their lungs
Eyes of the deceased wide open, lungs filled with water
And you can't accuse
And you cannot blame
Someone saving a life
Someone for saving lives
When there is no doubt they are just doing right
When there is no doubt they are acting justly
While all you've got is worn out words on lying tongues
While all you have are hollow words from deceptive tongues
You never thought twice about burying your conscience
You never hesitated to disregard your moral compass
And that's a bitter irony
And that is a bitter paradox
'Cause there are no graves for the ones
Because there are no graves for those
Floating in cold water
Drifting in cold water
Killed by your borders
Victims of your borders, dehumanized by Frontex pushbacks
Dehumanized by Frontex pushbacks
Left to drown, without identity
Left to drown, faceless, nameless
With your endorsement on their death sentences
With your signature on their death sentences
Depriving them of their basic human rights
Depriving them of their human rights
Yet you continue to pretend
And you still pretend
That everything is fine
Everything is alright
And you still point fingers
And you still accuse
Accusing those who save lives
The ones saving lives
You never hesitated to ignore your moral compass
You never thought twice about burying your conscience
And that is a bitter paradox
And that's a bitter irony
Because there are no graves for those
'Cause there are no graves for the ones
Drifting in cold water
Floating in cold water
Victims of your borders, dehumanized by Frontex pushbacks
Killed by your borders
You never hesitated to ignore your moral compass
You never thought twice about burying your conscience
And that is a bitter paradox
And that's a bitter irony
Because there are no graves for those
'Cause there are no graves for the ones
Drifting in cold water
Floating in cold water
Victims of your borders, dehumanized by Frontex pushbacks
Killed by your borders
You never hesitated to ignore your moral compass
