Lyrics

We still bow our heads
Where they rest, in regret
Such solemn words were said
“And lest we forget”

They justify the hurt
And mitigate our loss
To lay beneath the dirt
Below an unmarked cross

I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
But not mine
No, not mine

The grass grows thicker here
None have paid respect
A promise insincere
A memory’s neglect

The lesson is the lie
An image to protect
We dare not question why
They want us to forget

Given nameless graves
To our hidden losses
We lay beneath the dirt
Below the unmarked crosses

I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
I guess it must have just…
Slipped their minds
But not mine
No, not mine

We used to pray for peace
We used to mourn our losses
They promised to remember
But gave us unmarked crosses

We used to bow our heads
And once upon a time
They promised to remember
I guess it slipped their minds
