Lyrics Remembrance - Crazy Arm

Remembrance

Singing the old songs again
Frightened, yet full of compassion
Singing our plain songs again
History played in slow motion
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
Batter down the hatches
Send in the shock troops
Send in the law men
Singing the old songs again
Frightened, yet full of compassion
Singing our plain songs again
History played in slow motion
Slow motion
There is a war
But only one side
Has all the power
Has all the money
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
Rain down on all sides
Left on the outside
Bloodied and bewildered
Bloodied and bewildered
The sea’s arms will come
Back round again
Back round again
This is the day
Of remembrance
This is the day
When our bones break
No more
