In the stone quarries of Orissa, India, young women work from dawn to dark. These are modern slaves who must pay off debts incurred by their families. Their work is the collateral for the loan. More often than not, they will work away their youth only to be discarded the minute theyre injured or unable to continue. This is an excerpt from STOLEN CHILDHOODS.
It is a famous song by a four-year old Arab child.This song was very popular in the 80s.We grew up listening to her songs. All of us (Arab children in the 80s) sang along “Give us our childhood, Give us Peace”.From the 80s until now , nothing has changed except the fact that more wars were started .This video goes to the children in war-torn areas.

album: Groundlevel (2001) lyrics: In the hanging garden another child is lost Quest for stolen fortune Sister midnight lies to me Seraphim protect me now Inquisition torturing Embraces seem so hollow Now I lose my trace of you In this world, before time You adandoned me Requiem for mercy You put this down on me Requiem for mercy This final kiss for us Redemption not forthcoming A call to arms I need Leave me underwater now Reputation falls away In my blood I cannot leave All these whispers Will they end? My heart exloding now I try to hold you back
NOTE: This video was not stolen it was audio combined with a picture Hey listen don’t you let ‘em get your mind Fill your brain with orders and that’s not right They’re playing at a game that draws you closer Till you’re living in a world that’s ruled by fear Always takin’ baby out that’s ok What they’re givin’ maybe it’s out of phase with me Told you once you’re never gonna win the race Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face We are screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace Tie a blindfold all around your head Spin you round in the torture before the dread And then you’re pushed and shoved into every corner Then they lead you out into the final slaughter As the sweat is running down your neck All your praying for’s to stop your body breakin’ up Oh your heart is pumping gonna soon explode Got to fight the horror of this mental load We are screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace So you wait it out and bide your time Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line Everyone who wins in the great escape Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake I don’t talk about it but that’s alright Table’s turned now there’s a revenge in sight If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait Send them screaming back through their hell’s own gate We are screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming …
