about

inspired by words from "Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age" by Modris Eksteins... written in Oshkosh, WI in the spring of 2006

lyrics

Who wrote this fiendish "Rite of Spring?",
across the battlefields it rings,
and how that way they are dancing,
it's crash clash bing bang bing.

(chorus)
We shall find them again,
one day in the eyes of our sons,
and all these visions of horror,
it has conjured around us.
We shall find them again,
one day in the eyes of our sons,
the savage shells bursting in front,
we have lost innocence.

The breaking of windows, the crashing of glass,
the air raid sirens are what you hear last,
when no one remembers the things of the past,
no one remembers the song they heard last.

(chorus)
