Battle Creek - Bent Knee

I went down to the battle creek

The things I saw there were amazing

Bones never looked so real before

I believed they were there

But now I’m sure

I’m sure

I was down by the battle creek

The sheer numbers were startling

Death never felt so real before

Always knew it was there

But now I’m sure

I’m sure

Oh my daughters, oh my sons and lovers

Did I raise you to harm one another?

Or did you learn it from someone else?

Did you pull it from someone else’s hands?

And when you slip into blinking red

Do you blame it on God or on your fellow man?

I returned from the battle creek

But my heart did not make it back with me
