lyrics

We keep asking ourselves “Can we make amends
For what our fathers' fathers' generations did?”

Through recent history we've fostered guilt
Brought up with a sense of what was done before

And as I walk along these city streets remade
Constant reminders of the price that others paid

Build a thousand stones so we never forget
What they did

Into this labyrinth that closes on each side
Concrete monoliths are all that are in sight
Descending further 'til we've shut out half the light
Until these looming pillars cannot be denied

The streets all shine in the frost
Tattooed by it's monuments
The city has scars that show
A bloodstain that can't be covered by the snow

Leave the fragments so we always mark the place
Where we built walls that we now realise were mistakes

Our history's frozen
In front of our eyes

We will carve the words in stone so they don't fade
To mark the memories of lives that others gave
We can try to hope for better and to change
And make sure history does not repeat again

And in the present we will always mark the past
Grief is a monument that's built to always last

Build a thousand stones so we never forget
A thousand more to show the depths of our regret
And still we cannot shake the guilt and emptiness
Never again...

The facts and the figures stand
They're too huge to comprehend
The human impact and the anguish that was felt
Still echoing

Rebuild.
Restore.
Remember.
