Free Me 06:23
Open arms, overlooking the main square The crowd is chanting for him I can’t believe my eyes How can’t they see the truth? Popes’ been sharing ancient buildings And hiding secrets behind the arcades Where the bishops will teach you love but Not before killing a pure white dove Mimetic jacket with dirty old boots Who wants to fight the West Many innocent must die ‘coz God is asking for punishment His son is still sucking sweet milk From the breast of a brainwashed mum Soon he’ll have his first toys too Jacket, boots and guns.. CHORUS Free me from wrong beliefs, from this world, from insanity From the lies, from obscurity We must wake up and believe in love The devil is among us! Look at those queers, look at that girl dressed like a whore, and what about those ones that were all slaves.. you will never be allowed in my church, die! Walking down the main street Hand in hand with another soul People can’t believe their eyes How can they be so indecent? You will never be accepted if Your manly hands are too soft Or if your sexy, sweet, soft lips Won’t be owned by any man God is looking from the above sky Where no one can see his skin He might be of any color Or he might even be a she! Unaware of cruelty The children are looking at me I want to see them happy I want them to be free I dream of being a superhero and help the world. Piece is love and respect. I want more love in the world so let’s be happy, be nice and make friends! CHORUS

Another night has gone I’m looking forward to seeing the sun But mummy said to wait Coz the smoke’s still thick in the sky Another day’s ahead Time to feed my skinny bones Mummy got some bread I hope it’s not that hard I can never remember What stupid day it is today You can’t leave this shelter Unless you are looking to die There’s a spider on my dusty bed The only friend I could find I bet it’s sick of this place too There ain’t no prays left to catch Here comes a soldier To announce who’s still alive CHORUS I hope with all my heart To leave the war behind I dream of days the widows will stop crying I hope with all my heart To leave the war behind I wish my dad could sleep with us tonight I hope with all my heart To leave the war behind Hate and fear make people’s eyes go blind I hope with all my heart To leave the war behind This cannot be our last goodbye The ground was shaking And I felt the blast on my chest While we were trying to escape On board of a foreign car But here I am now Many years have been passing by My wife‘s from a different flag The one that dropped the bombs on us Here come the nightmares In my mind they’re still alive CHORUS

One Day 03:10
I’ve been walking hundreds of miles The fuel now is gone and I need a break from the crying sky My old friend has died, a bomb changed his face And the school got destroyed by last night raid CHORUS One day I will go back home On the heavenly clouds Far away from this war One day I will fight no more When the angels will come To take me away from this world When I see our children’s eyes I understand what keeps me alive And I know there’s still hope for them Dear wife, I hope you are well My eyes might be tired but I didn’t forget your sweet smile I wish I was there to kiss our son Instead I’m still in this hell But when I see our children’s eyes I understand what keeps me alive And I know there’s still hope for them Cmon there must be CHORUS But when I see the children’s eyes … (whistling)

The press is waiting To meet the richest men Who like to play war games With the poorest souls on earth We ask the number Of all civilians killed While kings and queens Can sleep through fearless nights Why don’t you explain the truth behind these wars They’re brainwashing our minds! Why! Don’t you go first in line? They’re busy shaking hands while drilling sacred lands CHORUS Now! – it’s time we all unite We’re singing out the love we have inside To stop these fatal rides Now! – it’s time we all unite Your hate is breaking our future dreams Don’t leave us misery Their game’s still going The pawns keep falling on the board An evil enemy proudly has been deceived Let’s blame religion! We need to hide the gold we found But more important Hide the useless people sacrified Die! Die! Die! CHORUS

about

Leave the War Behind is the second release from Mauro Zarattini. The EP was born after a conversation with a friend who had lived the Yugoslavian war in the ‘90s. The songs ‘Leave the War Behind’ and ‘One Day’ are the result of these conversations, while ‘It’s Time We All Unite’ was inspired by civilians recalling how the bombs were often being dropped by the “allies” rather than the opposition.
‘Free Me’ is the only song not focusing on the war, being an open message to love and freedom.
