about

Written after researching family history and finding out two of my great uncles both died in WWI, both buried in Liverpool. Ian's vocals made this track, which is written from the dead soldier's point of view.

lyrics

I see you stand and read the words
Little said at all
Your hand recarves a history
A Man, a life, a fall

I hear the shouts, the duty call
The farewell gift from home
Your hand retraces every line
Forever set in stone

Still smell much more than gas in here
So awake and so alive
Your hand reaches back to touch this man
On this day I survive

I did not live in black and white
I did not live to win this fight
I did not live to end all wars
I did not live for any cause

You turn away, your duty done
Tears flow down to earth below
Your memory is all I hold
All I have to show

And once a year you bring me back
In dreams I've never known
Then I dig this grave again
To stand once more in stone
