Iron Harvest Lyrics

Sewn by destruction

No seeds, no life, no growth

Only decay - of the weaponry - and of their memory

Consequence

Scattered on the fields

Contested lines - scar the dark earth - this place of remembrance

A century's past - only carved names remain

Hewn into stone - memorialized

Corroded, Oxidized

Encased beneath the soil

The twisted metal - machinery - borne of the military

Scavengers

Scanning these scarred fields

Combing for relics - mementos - from this ground unhallowed

A century's past - only carved names remain

Hewn into stone - memorialized

They said this was war to end wars - But redrawing borders

Was salt in the wound

The harsh reparations and humiliations

Sewed fear and resentment - the conditions set

Creating the space for a new form of hate - to rise from the ashes

And spread like a plague

Like a plague

Only the carved names remain

Only the carved names remain

Hewn into stone

These buried trenches

Interned generation

Those who survived - were confined by their time - silently endure

And carry the

Trauma scars of war

The sun never sets - but the sorrow, regret - persists evermore

The sun never sets but the sorrow regret persists evermore
