A broad incision sits across the evening A victim to our fathers lost war The restless children sit and mourn the graves Of those they've never seen before Will they be buried here among the dead? In the silent secret
The pioneers In dealing with it they march for dawn, for Will and worry The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer Man your battle stations We'll have you dead pretty soon So tell me what for, why for this bloodless savior Man your own battle station We'll have you home pretty soon
Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move Over arms length they'll break protocol Jealous envy for the youngest one To be the hero is all I'll ask Can I be buried here among the dead? With room to honor me here in the end You'll be better off too soon You'll be better off when you get home
For you, I'd do anything just to make you happy, hear you tell me that you're proud of me For them, I'll kill anything cut the throats of babies for them break they're hearts for they were them Waiting for you to say… I love you too
The navigator The pilot Her favorite The one they call the vision that bears the gift
Will, Do the children really understand the things you did to them? And why oh why… Should they conjure up the will for you my love I would kill him
In the seventh turning hour Should the victims shadow fall Will the irony grow hungry? With victory and all they sought for We were one among the fence One among the fence
