No Man's Land ft. Theo Lucas Lyrics

No Man's Land

July 1974

The island was invaded

This goes out

To all my Cypriot brothers and sisters

Free our land

Peace and love

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 it's all ghost town

Casper found his way in

Had to flee the country

UK the destination

Had to suffer racist

Foreign migration

Couple hundred thousand

On the North side kicked out

No where to go

Yeah the future it was in doubt

Started in Kyrenia

Then it all flipped out

Women raped

Kids shot

Tell me what this thing's bout

1300 Cypriots

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 out

But instead they chose to shoot

Separated by the green line

Research in my free time

I'll say it how it is

And i'll say it how I feel like

Βλέπω πάλι την γιαγιά να κλέει στο όνειρό μου

Γιατί να πάρω άδεια για το σπίτι το δικό μου

Μιλάω με τους νεκρούς πονάει ακόμα η ψυχή τους

Στη πόλη φάντασμά ακούς ακόμα την κραυγή τους

Μα πάνω στα βουνά βλέπω Κυπριακή σημαία

Και την κρατάω ψηλά ως τον Απόστολο Ανδρέα

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 man's land

They put the signs up to warn ya

It's 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

I could have lived in them timesI

It would have been real 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 and all the sea

All the food

All the weather

All the people

All the trees

δεν μπορούν να πάρουν όλα όμορφα

πράγματα της Κύπρου μακριά

Love for my people

My οικογένεια

Hope I'm making Yiayia proud

στείλτε τα φιλιά

Our homes turned into 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

Βλέπω πάλι την γιαγιά να κλέει στο όνειρό μου

Γιατί να πάρω άδεια για το σπίτι το δικό μου

Μιλάω με τους νεκρούς πονάει ακόμα η ψυχή τους

Στη πόλη φάντασμά ακούς ακόμα την κραυγή τους

Μα πάνω στα βουνά βλέπω Κυπριακή σημαία

Και την κρατάω ψηλά ως τον Απόστολο Ανδρέα
