Statues of Shame - Black Peaks

Often I wake from a dream

A nightmare that could have been seen by all of us

Fools

A city of squalor now while washed in colour and screams

How we screamed

The girl in the burnt out car

Eyes shouldn’t see that far

Can you feel the waves

Crashing on your skin

Washing over

Light becomes all light

I walk through the fields of grey

People of honour cast statues of horror and shame

I come to the end of the line

A girl with a look in her eye one thousand yards long

It’s the girl in the burnt out car

Eyes shouldn’t see that far

Can you feel the waves

Crashing on your skin

Washing over

Light becomes all light

Statues of shame

Watch as they fall away, watch as they all come down

Watch as they fall away, watch as they all come down

Though they never said goodbye

Goodbye

I think I’ve seen her face before

In my dreams I waited for

Goodbye

I think I’ve seen her face before

In my dreams I waited for
