Crazy Arm - Remembrance lyrics

rate me

Singing the old songs again

Frightened yet full of compassion

We’re singing our plainsongs again

History played in slow motion

This is the day of remembrance

This is the day when our choices are laid out

For all to see

Lost in a maze of contrition

Caught in a storm

Break out the rations

Batten down the hatches

Send in the shock troops

Send in the lawmen

There is a war but only one side

Has all the power, has all the motive

To rise and conquer

There is a war but only one side

Has all the anger, has all the people

With nothing left to lose

This is the day of remembrance

There is a war

Fought from the inside

Rained down on all sides

We’re left on the outside

Bloodied and bewildered

The seasons will come back round again

This is the day of remembrance

This is the day when our bones break no more
