When the sirens cry

**Title: “When the Sirens Cry”**

**Verse 1**

Midnight shadows on a broken screen,

Headlines burning red in between,

Leaders drawing lines in the sand,

Fire rising from every land.

Children hiding underground,

Dreams are shaking with every sound,

Hope is fading in the sky,

As the sirens start to cry.

**Pre-Chorus**

We built these walls with fear and pride,

Now there’s nowhere left to hide.

**Chorus**

Is this the start of World War Three?

Brothers fighting endlessly,

Cities falling to their knees,

Drowning in insanity.

Can we stop before we bleed?

Before the world can’t breathe?

Tell me, is this destiny—

Or can we still be free?

**Verse 2**

Satellites above the night,

Watching every spark ignite,

Missiles painting trails of flame,

No one left to take the blame.

Mothers praying through their tears,

Echoes louder than their fears,

Hearts are marching to the drum,

Of a war no one has won.

**Pre-Chorus**

We fed the fire with our lies,

Now we’re choking on the skies.

**Chorus**

Is this the start of World War Three?

Brothers fighting endlessly,

Ashes falling like the sea,

Waves of dark uncertainty.

Can we stop before we bleed?

Before the world can’t breathe?

Tell me, is this destiny—

Or can we still be free?

**Bridge**

Put down the guns, silence the hate,

Before love arrives too late.

We are more than flags and lines,

More than power, more than signs.

If we stand and choose to see,

Peace is still a possibility.

**Final Chorus**

This doesn’t have to be World War Three,

We can change our history,

Break the chains of misery,

Choose a different legacy.

Let the sirens fade away,

Let tomorrow see a better day,

It’s not too late to believe—

We still have time to breathe.
