1913 Again

04 Jun 2007

Do you recall, do you remember
What happened on that day in December
This was our country, my friend
This was our land

That Christmas Eve, tears were shed
And the blood of the innocent
Fifty-nine children paid the price
When someone shouted fire

For everywhere a memory is stolen
Everywhere the hidden is revealed
And everywhere a heart is broken by a song
It's 1913 again

It’s a debt you will never clear
When you’re paid by the company
When they own the ground underneath your feet
You owe them your memories

How do you keep it together
When your neighbor is a killer
You cast a web that diffuses shame
And misplace all of the blame

CHORUS

Do you recall, do you remember
What happened on that day in December
Do you believe in the past my friend
Do you believe in the past
