Another One Down Lyrics

Another One Down

Walk atop the earth and hear the pine-tops whistle

Bands of sand blown into the grey river ripple

Falcon sings the sweet bright note of dawn as it sizzles

Across the river, sounds of gunshots echo

One down, another one down

The fading flood recedes and leaves remnants of a ghost town

Near every fallen tree an heirloom rusted like the dawn

Down under in a slave graveyard

Hear the righteous song of another bloody battle

One down, another one down

If you could only speak their tongue you'd see survival is simple

Black or white, left to die, to fight or foster evil

Everything you touch turns to dust

When you can't get past the past and leave behind what isn't real

One down, another one down
