No Man's Land(1974)

(Intro)
Teknik!
No Man’s Land
July 1974 the island was invaded
This goes out to all my Cypriot, Greek & Turkish brothers and sisters
Free our land
Peace and love

Verse:

1974
We got invaded
Kicked out their homes
Where my family
Were raised in

To this day
It's abandoned
Turkish occupation
Varosha was the town
Yeah a popular location

Beautiful water
On the beach
It looked amazing
But now its all ghost town
Casper found his way in,(Damn)

Had to flee the country
UK the destination
Had to suffer racists
Foreign migration

Couple hundred thousand
On the north side kicked out
No where to go
Yеah the future it was in doubt

Started in Kyrеnia
Then it all flipped out
Women raped
Kids shot
Tell me what this things bout

1300 Cypriots
All caged up in the name of enosis
People in danger

Second invasion
An evil operation
165 thousand
On the pavement

The greek government
Backed the military coups
Then they tried to sort it
But instead they chose to shoot

Separated by the green line
Research in my free time
Ill say it how it is
And ill say it how i feel like

20th July
A couple things went down
Tanks and full forces
People they just bled out

Genocides happened
Innocents just dead now
Soldiers got it too
Then the president stepped down

A new one come in
It didn't change nothing
A quarter of the island gone
Yeah this is disgusting

They control it
And just left it in a mess
Bought my people so much stress
They can never accept

I feel the tension
By the borders
Soldiers with their guns
You better turn off your recorders

Snatch it out your hand
Or leave you beat down in a corner
This is no mans land
They put the signs up to warn ya

Its crazy(crazy)
Such a beautiful land
But now all its got left
Abandoned buildings & sand

Rusty cars on the road
I swear the feeling is mad,(mad
I could have lived in them times
It would have been real bad,(bad)

So i'm grateful for my ancestors
All my Cypriots united
Yeah we winning
I ain't talking bout no Manchester

Yeah the country still beautiful
Sights & all the sea
All the food, all the weather
All the people, all the trees

Δεν μπορούν να πάρουν όλα όμορφα
(They can't take all the beautiful)
Πράγματα της Κύπρου μακριά
(Things of Cyprus away)
Love for my people
My οικογένεια(Family)
Hope im making yiayia(Nan) proud
Στείλτε τα φιλιά(Send her kisses)

Our homes turned to a war zone
No longer a sea view
These are the facts that the system won’t teach you

This story here is true
I’ve experienced the town
I'm just tryna make you see too

Outro(Talking)

The Mediterranean deception
The island of Cyprus used by the west for nearly 50 years to launch countless attacks on my brothers and sisters in the middle east
All in the name of stability and peace but it’s actually about divide and conquer

Free Cyprus
Free Palestine
Free all the countries that have gone through the same pain

We are all one
