Grave of fireflies | Shubh Srivastava

Grave of the fireflies

Should I laugh, Should I cry
Riots is what they like
War of words, words of lies
Became violence in miniscule time
All I see is war, All I see is son, the tormented souls
Teardrops on my guitar still far
Devils took our brothers and sisters
Who’s to blame, top-tier system

I'm standing on the grave of fireflies
On the lies of your truth
Grave of fireflies
Kamikaze in the booth
Grave of fireflies
War-mongers in the news
What you sow is what you reap
Same blood but apathetic abuse
Grave of fireflies, I see grave of fireflies

One world One life Peace in all spheres of life
Good to speak but hard to apply
Last week someone got lynched for illegitimate steak and speech
Rumours here, Rumours there, what'sapp forwards, who the hell cares
Same race bit not on same shoes
Killed somebody who just argued
Blockade his home vandalized for ill-post
Goons out here they fucked you before you knew
Police handed over them to crowd so they would be dead soon
They were the saints but who the hell cares dude
Cops could lay their ass on the fucking couch
Think I’m lying go search for Palghar Lynch
World is unfair and I’m used to it
Each bar has its own stories if you go through it
Money is the law, justice is the joke
Headlines fall-down, they need trp views
Focus shifted again, case-files just corrode

Syria, Iran, Iraq, Vietnam
For the ideologies, the fuel for your drive
The desire to control lives
The desire to conquer landscapes
Who gets the worst hit kids and the females
Still wars after world war 2
Trillions on defence not even half on health
Everyother day the impending threat
Like we gonna have war at very next moment
Soldiers are not the gladiators of your Colosseum
War wrecks economics and ecosystem
Rap battle is a better way to resolve issues (hmm)
Atleast your jibes would not cost someone’s life
We will see who’s got the oratory skills
It’s like the King and the Queen of Both sides drinking jams,
All pieces fall down and they don’t seem to give a fuck
They celebrate on your ashes, one remorseful post and it’s over
