Exodus of the Dead by Vonnegut Lyrics
Years corrode the steel of memories
Sagas in a language no one knows
Eternal flame, a trembling spark
A toy for impish children
Forgotten, you're sent by fools
To wander amidst the dark of times
Who lied to us that manuscripts don't burn
Once praised, they lost their names
As we behold the exodus of the dead
Silent are the heroes
Stones will shed no tears
You never knew the pain
And nevеr have you sought
Red-eyеd, red-eyed redeemers
The hate machine
It grinds the living
Wake me, shake me, give me strength
So that I can see
Flame and rage and massiveness of deformity
Turned to dust with ashen faces
Debris of a dream
Grim spectator of a thing never meant to be
Sagas in a language no one knows
Eternal flame, a trembling spark
A toy for impish children
Forgotten, you're sent by fools
To wander amidst the dark of times
Who lied to us that manuscripts don't burn
Once praised, they lost their names
As we behold the exodus of the dead
Silent are the heroes
Stones will shed no tears
You never knew the pain
And nevеr have you sought
Red-eyеd, red-eyed redeemers
The hate machine
It grinds the living
Wake me, shake me, give me strength
So that I can see
Flame and rage and massiveness of deformity
Turned to dust with ashen faces
Debris of a dream
Grim spectator of a thing never meant to be
