Eyes glazed, all hope is gone,
Our spirits annihilated by the evil Ottoman,
Abused and tortured, 1915, they murdered 1.5 million of us.
Oh dear God, how could you forsake us, alone in the dark,
Left to perish at the hands of those Young Turks.
They took our Fathers, our Brothers, our homes,
Our villages stand fallow, friends and family gone.
Here we are, stumbling and crawling along,
Through this endless desert, food and water all gone.
The very young and the old, will not survive this wasteland,
Babes burnt, buried 'neath dirt, wrenched from their mothers' hearts.
And the powerful of the world stood by,
Without shame and conscience watching this genocide
Of us Armenians, all marching to die.
