about

For all the victims of pointless killings done for greed.

John and Robert were two of the four people kidnapped from a raid at the Holiday Ocean View Samal Resort on September 2015. They never came back home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I was still working with an anti-terrorism unit back then, and one day I was assigned to transcribe a hostage video released by the abductors. Replaying it countless times screwed my mind. I could not hear any words anymore, I could only hear their fear.

John and Robert were murdered after a few months. I eventually quit that job after the last released video. Hearing the last struggling breath of someone being killed took a huge toll on my mental health. I was so sorry we could not save them. I was so sorry we could not take them home. - L

lyrics

They can't hurt you anymore

Your face, your eyes, and your fear
I watch it over and over.
I play, pause, and repeat

What became of you?
and what became of me?

I know it hurt when you felt nobody knows you anymore

Greed, all for greed
They took your life all for greed.

I hoped, and I thought we could save you
I hoped, and I thought we could take you home

Please know we never gave up just like you,
just like you

I mourned, I mourned for you, because my soul became shattered on the day that you died

They can't hurt you anymore
Now you're free,
they can't hurt you anymore.
