June Fourth 1989: From the Shattered Pieces of a Stone It Begins - Moddi
Tekst piosenki
Album: Unsongs (2016)
This place begins to cave.
These are a madman's days.
A trembling land must play a murderer's game.
The blind man's flickering eyes.
A flame as black as night.
The unborn children die before me now.
But from the soldier's broken bones,
from the mothers' silent song,
from the pieces of a shattered stone it starts.
We learn and then forget
the screams and silhouettes.
In time you'll find we'll make the same mistakes.
So ruins are reborn,
an ever blood-red dawn.
The palm-lines turn to cracks beneath our feet.
But from the silence of the tombs,
from the broken, barren wombs,
from the pieces of a shattered stone it starts.
From the parted lovers' lips,
from the nailless fingertips,
from the whispers of a silenced voice it starts.
