| Isaac Simons - "Graves in the Mud" |
Cry for the last of the soldiers Who knows how long hell last? Emptiness courts the believer Who never considered the task. The tiger is half of the jungle Desire half of the war Instincts awakened in movement Loving, dead on the shore Were digging a grave in the mud Digging a grave in the mud And its he who always digs early Who knows what his grave is made of He wasnt born in the country But its in the country hed hoped to last With a cache of old folkie records And driving a tank full of gas Maybe we were born to kill Born to kill each other, Maybe we were born to hurt Maybe, maybe were Digging a grave in the mud Digging a grave in the mud And its he who always digs early Who knows what his grave is made of He finds himself knee-deep in nothing The rest of him all shot to hell Sends but a thought to his father Never knew him that well Digging a grave in the mud Digging a grave in the mud Its he who flees at the sight of the flood, Its he who dies who looses his blood, And its we who will laugh at the loss of all good Just digging graves in the mud. |
