Magellan

Another Burning

Magellan


Back in '61 to '65, their indifferences, 
Could never hide the buried hopes 
Of peace/that rest beneath them wearing 
Grey or blue. 
Did the burning of white mansions still 
The fire inside their hearts to kill 
Each other? The memories that lie where ash remains. 
They marched all the fathers and sons 
To a slaughter/ 
Then the widows and daughters knew 
That no one would march back home. 
Can you feel it? Don't deny that it comes from 
Deep within your soul. 
Can you feel it? Don't you see that this 
Is something we can do together? 
The intolerance bred ignorance and prejudice 
But they possessed destructive powers 
Making it too real for them to see 
That their strength was an illusion 
Fueled by dreams of glory writing 
Their own story 
Knowing that no man should be 
Enslaved. 
Though it's hard to build on dreams again 
We must fight the demon if 
We're going to win. 
One more chance to live again - to prosper the 
Open land that God gave them. One more 
Chance to live a new way - they sacrificed 
Everything - they threw it away. 
Hate must never claim the lives of our heroes 
Again. Never can we allow another burning...
