The New Beginning

Another break of dawn
Forces the shadows recede
Breaks the barrier of clouds
Blaze a trail for the light.

In the arms of white soil
Lies a fallen boy
Left alone to freeze to death
Grown numb in the cold.

This is the new beginning
Start with a clean sheet
Redemption of the liberty
Freedom through the bloodshed.

When hatred old for centuries
Poisons the minds of sane
Distrust kills all the kindness
Envy slain the ideal.

Demise of spirit and flesh
No victory in death
Only the defeat remains
When the sons take fathers' lives.

What good can come out of this?
Is this the price we must pay?
Redemption of the liberty
Freedom through the bloodshed.

This is the new beginning
Rebirth through devastation
All the hope of a nation
In the hands of few.

Another chapter in common story
Nothing new under the sun
This is the new beginning
Sad ending to others.
