Cemetary Dawn - Rough Silk

Nameless cross on the misty rain

Reminds on hopes gone down the drain

You — who’s burried at this lonely place

Were proud to be a man as you lost the race

Or did you cry in vain

Did you scream for your mother but she never came

Dead soldier — what was your age

As you died — were you still a child in the cage

You were food for the guns

Missing in action like a billion sons

With no chance to get old

If you’d been a coward — you’re a hero in my eyes

If you’ve been a cold killer who believed their lies

I’ll pray for your soul

And so I bow my head

As I sit at your grave and remember the dead

Who died for another one’s pride

Cemetary dawn — traces in the darkness

Cemetary dawn — shadows of the past

Cemetary dawn — faces of the pain will last

All them faceless gods of war

What the hell are they fighting for

Losers & winners — all the same

Victims of that vicious game

Or did you cry in vain

Did you scream for your mother but she never came

Dead soldiers — what was your age

As you died

Cemetary dawn — traces in the darkness

Cemetary dawn — shadows of the past

Cemetary dawn — faces of the pain will last
