The Great Betrayal (Rojava) - Les Thomas

A song in solidarity with the Kurdish people.
#rojava #saverojava #riseup4rojava #kurdistan #kurds

The tanks rolled into Rojava this morning
The last of the US forces have pulled out
The Kurds who fought off ISIS face a bitter crisis
And Turkish guns are aiming for a rout

Left alone with no friends but the mountains
Invasion plans green-lighted by DC
They’ve past their used by date, abandoned to their fate
Hanging by the thread of destiny

The great betrayal, it cannot be forgiven
Don’t let the Kurds be cut down after all
Stand beside the heroes of Rojava
Don’t turn your eyes away, don’t let them fall

All they ever wanted was a homeland
Before crude lines were painted on the map
So they’ve always had to fight, take on much greater might
Seems empire games have caught them in a trap

Militias, we know just what you fight for
Women’s rights and true democracy
We won’t let your dreams be crushed, bombed into the dust
Your struggle won’t be lost to history

The great betrayal, it cannot be forgiven
Don’t let the Kurds be cut down after all
Stand beside the heroes of Rojava
Don’t turn your eyes away, don’t let them fall
