“Cries of the Soldier” by MA Shalom is a haunting and powerful anti-war anthem that confronts the psychological and moral toll of battle. The song gives voice to the soldier’s inner conflict—caught between duty and conscience—and the lingering cries of those lost to the machinery of war.
Through vivid storytelling and emotional imagery, it exposes the hidden costs of obedience, the manipulation of power, and the silent suffering behind every uniform. Echoing the lessons of history, the lyrics call for repentance, accountability, and a collective awakening to the human price of conflict.
Ultimately, the song transforms from lament to liberation—a soldier’s vow to lay down arms, reject destruction, and stand on the solid ground of truth and peace.
