"Black Granite" lyrics
"Black Granite"
Black granite, so silent, cries out to us all
Forever remember, never to crawl
You gave what you could give
While we gave it all
And remain unacclaimed names on a wall
The slaughter and torture we feel in your eyes, the years and the fears
The orange colored skies
We gave all for nothing
And weren't you surprised
All for old glory, without knowing why
Black granite, so silent, cries out to us all
Forever remember, never to crawl
You gave what you could give
And we gave it all
And remain unacclaimed names on a wall
The heart blood of youth
Runs cold through your veins
Still searching for truth
And finding nothing but pain
You keep pounding the tracks like
A runaway train
While the war monger's hunger
Tastes blood again
Black granite, so silent, cries out to us all
Forever remember, never to crawl
You gave what you could give
While we gave it all
And remain unacclaimed names on a wall

The Cactus Blossoms - "Change Your Ways Or Die" When the river rises over her banks
Better make your home in a higher place
For if you stay down by the sand
You'll be washed away to another land
And when the mountains swim in the sea
Look around,...
