The blood feud never sleeps.
Death is the guarantor of order.
Death may be inevitable, but its timing is in our hands.
In the mountains, lives are measured not by years but by shots fired.
The touch of a gun is the only truth.
Bloodshed feeds the cycle of bloodshed.
In the highlands, honor is more valuable than life.
The silence of the stones speaks of ancient conflicts.
Love holds no power in the face of tradition.
The weight of history is heavy on our shoulders.
The echoes of past crimes reverberate in the present.
A bullet can silence a life, but not the injustice that led to its firing.
