1
They fell that year they vanished
2
From the earth,
3
Never knowing the cause
4
Or what laws the offended,
5
The women few as well
6
And the babies they tendered.
7
Left to die left to cry
8
All condemned by their birth.
9
They fell like rain
10
Across the thirsty land,
11
In their heart they were slain,
12
In their god still believing
13
All their pity and pain,
14
In that season of grieving
15
All in vain all in vain
16
Just for one helping hand.
17
For no one heard their prayers,
18
In a world bent on pleasure
19
Form others people care
20
They simply closed their eyes
21
They create allot of sound
22
In jazz and right time measure
23
The trumpets screamed till dawn
24
To drown the children's cries.
25
They fell like leaves
26
Its people its prime,
27
Simple man kindly man,
28
And no one new his crime
29
The became in that hour
30
Like the small desert flower
31
Simply covered by the silent wind
32
In sands of time.
33
They fell that year
34
Before a cruel foe
35
They had little to give
36
But their lives and their passion,
37
And their longing to live
38
In their way
39
In their fashion
40
So their harvest can
41
Thrive their children can grow.
42
They fell like flies
43
Their eyes still full of sound
44
Like a dove its flight
45
In the path of rifle
46
That fall down were it might,
47
That holds on with its might
48
As if death were a trifle
49
And to bring to an end
50
A life barely begun.
51
And I am of that race,
52
Who die in unknown places
53
Who perished in their pride,
54
Whose blood in rivers ran,
55
In agony and fright
56
With courage on their faces
57
They went in to the night,
58
That waits for every man.
59
They fell like tears
60
And never new what for
61
In that summer of strife
62
Of massacre and war
63
Their only crime was life
64
There only guilt was fear
65
The children of Armenia
66
Nothing less nothing more
