Blaze Foley Black Granite
Black granite, so silent, cries out to us all
Forever remember, never to crawl
You gave what you could give
while we gave it all
and remain unacclaimed names on a wall
The slaughter and torture we feel in your eyes, the years and the fears
the orange colored skies
We gave all for nothing,
and weren't you surprised,
all for old glory, without knowing why
Black granite, so silent, cries out to us all
Forever remember, never to crawl
You gave what you could give
and we gave it all
and remain unacclaimed names on a wall
The heart blood of youth
runs cold through your veins
Still searching for truth
And finding nothing but pain
You keep pounding the tracks like
a runaway train
While the war monger's hunger
tastes blood again
Black granite, so silent, cries out to us all
Forever remember, never to crawl
You gave what you could give
while we gave it all
and remain unacclaimed names on a wall
