conscripted children
torn from truth
to the boarding school station
force fed the foreign tongue of fire
and a prison education
broken knowledge
pencil scarred
spit faced
the scattered sage
wisdom deep within the rock
(the wisdom deep within the rock)
outlives
(outlives the pretty lies upon the page)
genocide
(how white the snowy graves)
how red the blood terrain
genocide
(still pulsing with your dreams)
above that stubborn stain
there you are a man without a face
(how white the snowy graves)
(how red the blood terrain)
red the blood terrain
(still pulsing with your dreams)
there you are a woman without a face
(above that stubborn stain)
above that stubborn stain
