They fell that year they vanishedFrom the earth,Never knowing the causeOr what laws the offended,The women few as wellAnd the babies they tendered.Left to die left to cryAll condemned by their birth.They fell like rainAcross the thirsty land,In their heart they were slain,In their god still believingAll their pity and pain,In that season of grievingAll in vain all in vainJust for one helping hand.For no one heard their prayers,In a world bent on pleasureForm others people careThey simply closed their eyesThey create allot of soundIn jazz and right time measureThe trumpets screamed till dawnTo drown the children's cries.They fell like leavesIts people its prime,Simple man kindly man,And no one new his crimeThe became in that hourLike the small desert flowerSimply covered by the silent windIn sands of time.They fell that yearBefore a cruel foeThey had little to giveBut their lives and their passion,And their longing to liveIn their wayIn their fashionSo their harvest canThrive their children can grow.They fell like fliesTheir eyes still full of soundLike a dove its flightIn the path of rifleThat fall down were it might,That holds on with its mightAs if death were a trifleAnd to bring to an endA life barely begun.And I am of that race,Who die in unknown placesWho perished in their pride,Whose blood in rivers ran,In agony and frightWith courage on their facesThey went in to the night,That waits for every man.They fell like tearsAnd never new what forIn that summer of strifeOf massacre and warTheir only crime was lifeThere only guilt was fearThe children of ArmeniaNothing less nothing more
