"Cultures of Violence" Lyrics
Devastation, comb remains to find what managed to survive
Excavation, into the lives of those buried on their side
Time will never tell, all of their stories
No moment of farewell, just an ending
Do we concede, they were more than ashes, bone, and rust?
Do we believe the same end marches after us?
Fading memories, lost to the soil
Forgotten are our last days, up to the end
Peel the layers back to find
Evidence of life behind
Do we concede, they were more than ashes, bone, and rust?
Do we believe the same end marches after us?
Cultures of violence
Society Silenced
Cultures of violence
Is this a memory I see embedded in me?
I search from where you came to know your name
No one to grieve, just legacy beneath the dust
Can we retrieve the pieces that once defined us?
Do we concede, they were more than ashes, bone, and rust?
Do we believe the same end marches after us?
