Remembrance - Crazy Arm

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
