Vestigial Remorse

Track 15 from “Someone Else’s Hell”.

Lyrics:
Ashes to ashes
careers and men
dust to dust
should I laugh, my friend?
there is no way ahead for
a country once bold
when capitalism makes
our feet grow cold
what do you want?
do i ask too much?
I need a place to go
when I leave this place
I work too hard to
let this all go
we risk our lives -
what is this worth to you?

// if 5 percent costs too much
// for the right to hate my guts - for the right to burn my flag
// i’d rather die than go home
// to a place where no one cares - a place to watch our freedom die

fighting never solves
anything some think
history begs to differ
again and again
hell has always been
ingrained in our souls
i may die fighting
at least i’ll die free
wars are inevitable
when politics fail
freedom isn’t free
though i wish it was, my friend
freedom isn’t free
though I wish it was, my friend
freedom isn’t free
it’s bought through our blood my friend

Chorus
