Million Dead - Relentless Lyrics
The footnote swallows the pageToday, New York kind of looks like Beirut,But Beirut never looked like New YorkYet New York kind of cuts to the quick as it quickensThe dispossessed define the dying ageWe were so wrapped up in the internecine strife of the last of the so-called 'European' centuries,my compadres,that we didnt see it comingSo the footnote works its way up from the bottom of the page,Filled with a certain understandable sense of rage,At justice unforthcoming.I have seen,Two feet standing proud in the sand,Cathedrals worn away by the rain,New dawns bringing seasons change,Relentless.
