Written on our Face

Final track from "Living in Reality".

Words to live and die by?

"I was born in a strange land,
In 1984,
On the edge of eternity
Or thermonuclear war
Maybe I'll live forever
But if it's the last days,
You'll see the truth
is written on my face

So…

Line us up,
And shoot us full of lies,
Unlike the faithless
we are not afraid to die,
and when they
Dig us up,
And stare into our graves,
They'll know the truth
was written on our face

Conceived in dissidence,
Seventeen seventy-six,
Soon dead by her own hand,
Cut down by politics
No one holds on forever,
But even when when displaced,
I say the truth
was written on her face

Left to die in a wasteland
In Twenty thirty-one,
No graves nor eulogies,
And nowhere left to run,
But even left for dead
we'll never be erased,
Because the truth
is written on our face"
