It seems like an eternity already and Putin’s political ego trip still shows no signs of ending. Instead the world is held to ransom while we wait for grinding WWI style trench warfare to reach its inevitable tragic end. Words aren’t enough to say how dangerously evil this all is, but at the same time you know getting up on a soapbox labeled U2 isn’t going to help either. About the most pretentious thing you can do as a musician is to think that writing a song is going to change the world, so we haven’t. This is a simple snap shot from a war zone to try and keep the ugliness in people’s minds before they start getting numb to it. The biggest danger is to give up and turn your back. You have to mentally speak truth to power, especially when that power is a lie.
This is the first of a new batch of material due to go up later this year. Hopefully the war will be over by the time the rest of the songs are released.
Take a seat though the roof has gone
The stage is strewn with broken pawns
It’s a ballet of carnage going on and on
The only thing dancing is a dying swan
