Maren Skolem - June Fourth 1989: From The Shattered Pieces Of A Stone It Begins lyrics

[People speaking in Chinese] [Verse 1] This place begins to cave These are a madman's days A trembling land must play a murderer's game The blind man's flickering eyes A flame as black as night The unborn children die before me now [Chorus 1] But from the soldier's broken bones From the mothers' silent song From the pieces of a shattered stone it starts [Verse 2] We learn and then forget The screams and silhouettes In time you'll find We'll make the same mistakes So ruins are reborn An ever blood-red dawn The palm-lines turn to cracks beneath our feet [Chorus 2] But from the silence of the tombs From the broken, barren wombs From the pieces of a shattered stone it starts From the parted lovers' lips From the nailless fingertips From the whispers of a silenced voice it starts [People speaking in Chinese]
