History

Time is ticking
Can you feel the pain?
The story’s told
But still resistance points the blame

With hammers beating
They’re calling out your name
Revenge for history
Or the version on display?

If we stand together, face up to the rain
Perhaps the sands of time can heal the wounds we made
The past is written but there’s so much left to say
The truth lies sleeping as the page is turned again

Make your banners
And destroy the mark
Your violent instincts
Cannot change the bloody past

I hear your sermon
You’re not the first to ask
Why we crossed the line
And wallowed in the dark

If we stand together, face up to the rain
Perhaps the sands of time can heal the wounds we made
The past is written but there’s so much left to say
The truth lies sleeping…
