Hate
The lyrics tell a poignant story of encountering someone with captivating beauty and personality, only to witness the cruelty of hate that can mar and alter lives forever. The contrast between the initial admiration and the subsequent horror of the acid attack is stark and powerful. The resolve to stand by the victim and offer support and care despite adversity speaks to themes of compassion and resilience.
It's a call to action, urging people to confront the darkness with empathy and understanding. The lyrics evoke strong emotions and provoke reflection on the destructive impact of hate and the importance of solidarity and kindness in combatting it.

In the silence of a crowded room, she glided like a dream
Her smile a beacon, lighting up the gloom it seemed
Eyes that shimmered like the stars above
Her charm, a magnet, drawing in the ones she loved
I felt compelled to greet this graceful soul
Introduced myself, and she took me in whole
Over coffee, our connection swiftly grew
In her presence, I found a kindred view
Chorus
Oh why must darkness stain our days
Is there a seed of evil in our ways
Hate’s shadow looms, a world deranged
But love and respect, they must be exchanged
Then came a moment that shattered all we knew
A protesters rage an act so cruel and true
Acid’s touch, destroyed her once fair face
Yet through the pain, her spirit found its grace
I vowed to stand by her, through thick and thin
To shield her from the world's callous din
Together, we’ll navigate this altered life
Amidst the chaos, we’ll find strength in strife
Chorus
Oh why must darkness stain our days
Is there a seed of evil in our ways
Hate’s shadow looms, a world deranged
But love and respect, they must be exchanged
