News Again" by Ali Taha Alnobani

At its core, "News Again" is a lament for truth in an age of distortion, where the news cycle repeats itself with new names but the same devastating outcomes.

Song Title: "News Again"
Lyrics by Ali Taha Alnobani
[Verse 1]
The news is back again
Same story, different names
More savagery, more blood
More silence wrapped in shame
[Verse 2]
The bad hero takes the stage
Still preaching peace and light
But behind his golden words
He sinks deeper every night
[Chorus]
He talks of hope, while dropping bombs
He speaks of calm, while lighting storms
The world just spins, and we pretend
But blood still writes how this will end
[Verse 3]
He said, “no fear, we’re on the right”
While children vanish out of sight
He said, “we build,” but I can see
The walls of graves and twisted dreams
[Final Chorus]
So here we are, we bleed, we burn
The news returns, the lessons turn
And peace remains a broken word
While mud devours the voice we heard
[Outro]
News again...
And still... the samemore
