Banjara arabic version

Eyes in the sky

It feels like I have been working on this song for years. I’ve changed the guitar parts, the lyrics, critiqued every part of it over and over until I finally said this is it. I hope this track has the same effect on the listeners as it did me as the writer.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Boots in the sand with a rifle in hand
Praying the sunrise comes slow
Brothers beside them, the sound of the sirens
And nobody back home will know

The dust and the fire, the screams in the wire
The weight of the names on the wall
They fight for a flag, then come back to a world
That acts like it knows nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus]
You wave your signs and shout your blame
But you never stood in the rain of the flame
You talk like war’s a distant scene
But you never saw the things they've seen

[Chorus]
These are the scars you can’t see
They’re buried deep inside of thee
You shake their hand but you’ll never know
The war still follows where they go

They gave their blood, they gave their youth
Now their haunted by the truth
You sleep in peace while they still fight
The war that lives inside the night

[Verse 2]
Back in the town where the streets feel small
But the silence is louder than war
A slammed door sounds like a mortar round
And their mind hits the battlefield floor

You say “move on,” like it’s that easy
Like memories fade with the sun
But ghosts don’t leave when the fighting stops
And the war’s never really done

[Pre-Chorus]
You criticize from your safe parade
While their friends are buried in the choices they made
You speak in lines you’ve memorized
But never looked death in the eyes

[Chorus]
These are the scars you can’t see
They’re carved in the soul of thee
You thank them once then walk away
But the war’s still here every day

They gave their blood,  they gave their youth
Now they're drowning in the truth
You sleep in peace while they still fight
The war that lives inside the night

(Bridge)
They hear their voices in the dark
They see their faces in the sparks
Every brother that they lost
Every line that they  had crossed

You call it over… call it past
But the echoes always last

[Breakdown]
You don’t know the price they paid
You don’t know the graves they made
Freedom’s never really free
It’s written in the blood they bleed

[Chorus]
These are the scars you can’t see
They’re burning underneath their skin
You praise the flag but turn away
From the war their living in

They gave their blood, They gave their youth
Still defending what is true
You sleep in peace while they still fight
The war that never ends at night

[Outro]
Yeah the medals shine… but the memories rust
And the silence breaks the strongest of trust
