Unmarked Graves - Misery Index

Lost in the annals of time long past over

Deep in soil, shallow and unkempt

Brothers and sisters, in ground hallowed sacred

Their blood, this earth, we will consecrate

Their eyes once boiling with life

Their hearts bursting with passion

With dreams they carried forever

Through days that promised the world

Then came the black winds burning

The beasts with fire in their hands

The execution squads surrounding

And their children in pieces at their feet

…and who stood watching?

From El Mozote to Amritsar

From Nanking to My Lai

From Srebrenica to Algiers

From Wounded Knee to Sabra-Shatila

From Tiananmen to East Timor

From Warsaw to Darfur

From Guernica to Halabja

Their spirit lives in defiance of it all

Graves of our fathers vanquished

Entombed in their furrowed prisons

Soldiers programmed, show no mercy

Following their orders from tyrants that hide behind politics

…and the world stood watching

Regret, nausea and rage

«Never Again» was the phrase

Lest not our conscience we betray

…as we stand passive in our guilt
