lyrics

Wine soaked skies, red dawn on the horizon
We say farewell to tomorrow’s friends
The vines reach over their gravestones
They shake hands with those who weep

Silently they march, silently they fall
They are silhouettes against the soil
Our steady lips, they speak of sorrow
Empty melodies they float away

Chorus:

We wake, we sing, we speak of memories
Of towns and souls, of lives just swept away
Every whisper, every voice
Will drown beneath our song

They move forth, wounded trumpet call
Their eyes look forward, hands on their hips
They beckon all others towards them
They drink but give no lip

(Chorus)

Red fires of their heart, they burn
They burn from the ground up
They topple, they topple and rest in the soil
And become dark to the eye

Faceless cannon through the gut
Entrenched in bodies of water
And light gleams from its surface
And rests on the back of our eye

(Chorus)

By the daybreak rain has washed them gone
The silhouettes against the soil
Drowsy children play in the rain
Seldom looking down
