about

Sometimes action must be taken, but history means nothing if we do not learn to temper this action with caution. There are those who associate unnecessary sacrifice with honour and pride in order to move us like pawns on a chessboard.

lyrics

Carve your name
Upon the stone
But cherish it
No more
It is now
A hollow sound
Lost
In the rain

The empty deeds
That garnered esteem
Now lie in tatters
On distant soil
Your final words
Never reached me
They turned to ash
When they left your mouth

They chiseled men
Into crows
And drove the feathers of kestrels
Under their skin
But those wings
Become shrouds
As they fall
From the sun

On which side of the line
Did your lifesblood spill?
Show me the utility
That has been gained
On which side of the line
Did your lifesblood spill?
What was the purpose
Of that last struggle?

They chiseled men
Into crows
And drove the feathers of kestrels
Under their skin
But those wings
Become shrouds
As they fall
From the sun
