Mass Graves

Lyrics

No crosses are found where the soldiers lie still No widows are weeping above them But someone brings flowers with quiet goodwill And flames ever-burning still love them Where once the earth roared with the thunder of war Now granite lies heavy and frozen No single life stands as it did once before — All fates into one have been woven That flame holds the flash of a tank set ablaze The smoke over homes torn and broken A Smolensk in fire, Reichstag in a daze A soldier's last heartbeat unspoken No widows in sorrow now kneel by the stone — Just those who bear pain without measure No names, no last words, not a grave of their own… But tell me — is grief any lesser? No names, no last words, not a grave of their own… But tell me — is grief any lesser?
