lyrics

In burnt out fields the flowers grow - between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky - the larks, still bravely singing, fly
We are the Dead. Short days ago - we lived, felt dawn, saw sunsets glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie… in burnt out fields; so

Say my name, won’t you – scream it out loud
Over the sound of the bombs as they hit the ground
as these silent streets become unwound; so…
Say my name, won’t you scream it out loud
Over the noise of the crowds that flee the town
As these skyscrapers are slowly falling down

So take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands - we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high
If you break faith with us who die - We shall not sleep, though flowers blow
In burnt out fields, way down below – through memories of long days ago

Say my name, won’t you – scream it out loud
Over the sound of the bombs as they hit the ground
As these silent streets become unwound; so…
Say my name, won’t you scream it out loud
Over the noise of the crowd as they flee the town
As these skyscrapers are slowly falling down now

Written down in history books – our lives become undone
From the senseless wars that took – our fathers’ lives, and their children’s innocence
With bullet shells that pave the scene and set the stage for apathy
For years, and generations to come
Ever since our ancestors allowed intentions to become undone

And the schoolteacher says ‘That’s the just the way it is”
Paint the whole globe red with politics
Draw border lines, define territory
So the tragic loss is just a memory
To justify these blatant lies – which carve in time and in our minds
That it’s all necessary – to build a future dream
…But at what cost?
...all humanity is lost
When the soldiers still fight

The infantry still marches on in the motion of ‘left-right’

Left-right, left-right, left-right, left-right, left-right, left-right…
