From the recording The Blood is Never On Their Hands
This song is a reflection on the universal devastation caused by war, capturing its senselessness and the profound human toll it exacts.
It deliberately avoids taking sides, instead focusing on the shared suffering and loss that transcends borders and ideologies.
My recording process spanned across continents, from Copenhagen to Nashville, bringing together a blend of diverse influences and top-tier production quality. The result is a deeply moving and professional piece that I hope resonates on a global scale, offering a connection to listeners touched by its message of unity and peace.

Lyrics
The Blood is Never on Their Hands
Clawing through the wreckage of her shattered home,
A mother searches for her son.
It was just a quiet Sunday, she never heard the drone.
Now her whole world is gone.
Men in the shadows of high places, send out their heartless commands.
They never live with the consequences, the blood is never on their hands.
Through centuries of pain, we’ve cried these tears before.
Still we never learn.
We just pick up their weapons and fight their endless war,
And watch the whole world burn
Men in the shadows of high places, send out their heartless commands.
They never live with the consequences, the blood is never on their hands.
Shine a light, so the whole world can see,
Shine a light, only peace will set us free
(Solo)
Men in the shadows of high places, send out their reckless commands.
They never dare to show their faces, the blood is never on their hands.
Shine a light, so the whole world can see,
Shine a light, only peace will set us free
Shine a light, so the whole world can see,
Shine a light, only peace will set us free
Shine a light …
