about

Filk of Where She Appears in Dark of Night by ChuckParker

lyrics

Remnants of buildings, and rupturing foundations
The homes and hearths are gone, just rubble, ruins, and degradation
The art school in the Left Bank hit, where hundreds came to hide
We still don't know how many lived, or know how many died
The port misses the trading ships, dropping off their cargo.
It longs for commerce and for peace, but either it may never know
The families were shipped as far away as Moscow could
To please the crazy Kremlin man who wants them gone for good

(Chorus)
Locals trapped in the cursed town,
With foes' munitions raining down
They still resist the Kremlin's might,
the city razed, yet it still fights
While warning sirens pierce the calm of night
Bombs and missiles streak the sky
Condemning those too close to die
Civilians hide; defenders fight
Against the cruel invaders' might
While warning sirens pierce the calm of night

Any street or block around lies the story of this broken town
Told in crumbled concrete on deserted, bloodied ground
Professing loss and pain of war, fury, death, and fear
Providing but an echo of the tragic stories here
"Ukraine is not even a state."
Thus claimed Mr. Putin, attempting to dictate
The future of those close to him; no need to hear the thoughts from them
And so all of those living here, confront a choice that's hard but clear
Though Russia's vice grips on this place, resistance perseveres

(Chorus)

This destructive conflagration, this attemped subjugation
Challenges the spirits yet defenders find their strength within
Vlad won't break them...he'll never win

(Chorus)

While warning sirens pierce the calm of night
While warning sirens pierce the calm of night
