We live in a land
Where the footprints
Of ghosts linger
You can see the scars
Within the ground
Left behind
You go there
You can almost
See them
You go there
You can almost
Hear the yelling and gunshots
Repeated through the ages
1861, 1916, 1941
Are only a few
You go there
and it’s like
You were there yourself
When will it stop?
Will it ever?
