Unmarked Graves |
Lost in the annals of time long past over |
Deep in soil, shallow and unkempt |
Brothers and sisters, in ground hallowed sacred |
Their blood, this earth, we will consecrate |
Their eyes once boiling with life |
Their hearts bursting with passion |
With dreams they carried forever |
Through days that promised the world |
Then came the black winds burning |
The beasts with fire in their hands |
The execution squads surrounding |
And their children in pieces at their feet |
…and who stood watching? |
From El Mozote to Amritsar |
From Nanking to My Lai |
From Srebrenica to Algiers |
From Wounded Knee to Sabra-Shatila |
From Tiananmen to East Timor |
From Warsaw to Darfur |
From Guernica to Halabja |
Their spirit lives in defiance of it all |
Graves of our fathers vanquished |
Entombed in their furrowed prisons |
Soldiers programmed, show no mercy |
Following their orders from tyrants that hide behind politics |
…and the world stood watching |
Regret, nausea and rage |
«Never Again» was the phrase |
Lest not our conscience we betray |
…as we stand passive in our guilt |
