Sloppy Seconds (Ick Pt. 2)

Marceline - Vista Kicks

A deeply emotional lament set in the war-torn Gaza Strip, the song follows a narrator walking through devastation, grief, and spiritual silence. Each verse reveals scenes of loss—children fallen, prayers unanswered, memories buried in rubble. The narrator questions a god beyond all known names, asking why such suffering was allowed. The song builds from quiet reflection to a desperate cry for justice and meaning, culminating in a haunting outro that echoes through the silence of destruction.

Ashes of the Holy

Intro  
“This is not a prayer.  
This is not a hymn.  
This is the sound of what’s left…  
when even God won’t answer.”

Verse 1  
I walked the mile where the children fell  
Dust in my lungs, silence in the shell  
Walls like ghosts, crying names they knew  
No sky above, just a war-stained blue  

Verse 2  
Shoes in the rubble, a doll with no face  
A prayer half-whispered in a shattered place  
I touched the stone where a mother wept  
Her son still warm, where the fire crept  

Pre-Chorus 1  
And I called to the god beyond the names  
Beyond the books, beyond the blame  
Not Allah, not Yahweh, not the cross  
But the one who watched, and let it be lost  

Chorus 1  
Why did you let this happen?  
Why did you turn away?  
Every breath here is broken  
Every night bleeds into day  
If you are love, then show me  
If you are light, then shine  
I’m walking through your silence  
One grave at a time  

Verse 3  
A boy drew stars on a concrete wall  
Before the tanks came to take it all  
He sang of peace in a tongue now banned  
His voice still echoes through the sand  

Pre-Chorus 2  
I screamed through the smoke, but no one came  
No thunder, no sign, just more of the same  
I begged the sky to break its vow  
But silence is all I’m hearing now  

Chorus 2  
Why did you let this happen?  
Why did you stay so still?  
The prayers are made of ashes  
The prophets die at will  
If you are love, then break now  
If you are truth, then speak  
I’m walking through your silence  
Where even angels weep  

Bridge  
I would give my blood to rewind the flame  
To lift the veil, to speak your name  
But you stay hidden, behind the smoke  
While prophets burn and prayers choke  

Final Chorus  
Why did you let this happen?  
Why did you close your eyes?  
Every soul here is pleading  
Every truth wears a disguise  
If you are love, then answer  
If you are just, then cry  
I’m walking through your silence  
One grave at a time  

Outro  
“One grave at a time…  
One grave at a time…  
One grave…  
at a time…”
