lyrics

Sewn by destruction
No seeds, no life, no growth
Only decay - of the weaponry - and of their memory
Consequence
Scattered on the fields
Contested lines - scar the dark earth - this place of remembrance

A century’s past - only carved names remain
Hewn into stone - memorialized

Corroded, Oxidized
Encased beneath the soil
The twisted metal - machinery - borne of the military
Scavengers
Scanning these scarred fields
Combing for relics - mementos - from this ground unhallowed

A century’s past - only carved names remain
Hewn into stone - memorialized

They said this was war to end wars - But redrawing borders - Was salt in the wound
The harsh reparations and humiliations - Sewed fear and resentment - the conditions set
Creating the space for a new form of hate - to rise from the ashes - and spread like a plague
Like a plague

Only the carved names remain
Only the carved names remain
Hewn into stone

These buried trenches
Interned generation
Those who survived - were confined by their time - silently endure
And carry the
Trauma scars of war
The sun never sets - but the sorrow, regret - persists evermore
The sun never sets but the sorrow regret persists evermore
