NoiseArt Collective - A Requiem for Those Who Never Returned

We celebrate the ones who come back
Think of the brother who stayed, who worked the long, long, long days
I've never once strayed, burned a resentful rage

Don't envy those who left safety
We celebrate those who come back
We mourn for those who never returned

Think of the father who gave, knowing his son wasn't his to save
Saw him come, celebrate, like he's back from the grave

Don't envy those who left safety
We celebrate those who come back
Those who never returned
We mourn

The son on the farm
The 99 sheep left behind
Martha in the kitchen, each of us who tried

Don't envy those who left safety
We celebrate those who come back
We mourn those who never returned
