LYRICS:
From the hills on high I see a sea of cemetery. That’s where they shot like crows into the valley low. A murder calls for the blood and bones, and for the birds below prisoned in their homes. A man athirst, forlorn, pecked in the head caw, caw. An out of tune symphony of war. When your born in a valley town, you are lower to the ground. No water falls down a throat of smoke. Only the flood of guns from military moat. The book of dead was scratched with ethnic cleanliness. Destroying all where nothing was left. When your born in a valley town, you are lower to the ground. You are lower to the ground. When your born in a valley, you are lower to the ground. The cowards hide from where they whip like tiger tails. A mortifying rose scarring Sarajevo. Built on the ash and reign of medieval conquering. A city ever and anon aflame. When your born in a valley town you, are lower to the ground. From the hills on high i see a sea of cemetery. That’s where they shot like crows into the valley low. A murder calls for the blood and bones, and for the birds below buried in their homes. When your born in a valley town, you are lower to the ground.
