Sarajevo

[Intro] Echoes of a shot, reverberating through time, Setting the stage for the world's great crime. [Verse 1] In the streets of Sarajevo, a summer's day, A royal parade, colors bright as May. Crowds cheer, unaware of fate, A single shot decides their state. [Verse 2] Ferdinand and his love, dressed in grace, Unknowing targets in this race. A young man with a plan so grave, Gavrilo Princip, the bold and brave. [Chorus] Fires of war ignite from a spark, A world entwined in shadows dark. Time spirals, history's mark, From Sarajevo's bloody lark. [Electric Guitar solo] [Bridge] The world tilts on an axis new, Alliances form in morning dew. Papers signed, the war drums beat, Marching boots, the heart's retreat. [Verse 3] Nations drawn into the fray, Borders blur in disarray. The world a stage, the actors set, A tragedy they'll not forget. [Chorus] Fires of war ignite from a spark, A world entwined in shadows dark. Time spirals, history's mark, From Sarajevo's bloody lark. [Outro] As peace shatters like broken glass, A generation's dreams will pass. Whispers linger of that day, When Sarajevo led astray.
