Story Behind The Song

this is about the current war of words (hopefully it will remain that way) between North & South Korea (and the rest of the world). I think we are all concerned but, perhaps even more, we are sick and tired of the power-hungry, anachronistic dictator and his country's attempts to hold the world to ransom with threats of nuclear strikes. This song is a response to that situation.

Song Description

having been a long-time resident of Seoul, South Korea, what is currently happening (1304) with regard to the North Korean aggravation prompted me to write this song...

Lyrics

verse I
You peer from your door
your cheeks wet with tears
there's pride in your heart
though your knees hit the floor
a life full of fear
a life torn apart

verse II
you're holding on fast
while you hunger and thirst
for the glory that fades
and belongs to the past
your future is cursed
but a price must be paid

chorus

Stop!
And think about what you're doing
Before you go too far

Stop! you're on a path that leads to ruin
no-one wants this any more

verse III
As time passed you by
The world around you changed
You got left way behind
Your friends left your side
Alone with your shame
You failed to see the signs
