about

The lyrics of this song were made using real testimonies by real people who survived the bombing of Goutha, a neighborhood south of Damascus that was one of the last rebel strongholds in the Syrian revolution. The Russian army and government forces laid a siege that lasted seven weeks. Around 400,000 people were trapped in an area
just over 100 square kilometres in size. Thousands were killed.

lyrics

It was cold and it was dark
I had one eye closed, the other half open
From Damascus to Beit Sawa
from Harasta to Ein Tarma
it rained fire.

Fire
from the sky
it rained fire
oh! it burned faces, it melted buildings
complete families burning in the streets.

i heard a loud explosion
I heard another one and electricity is gone
The third one hit us and (it all went dark)

Ghouta, once a sprawling oasis, was the Garden of Eden. 
And now, it's perhaps the closest thing to hell on Earth.
