lirik lagu michael ippolito - aftermath (reprise)
have you forgotten yet?…
for the world’s events have rumbled on since those gagged days
like traffic checked awhile at the crossing of city ways:
and the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
like clouds in the lit heavens of life; and you’re a man reprieved to go
taking your peaceful share of time, with joy to spare
but the past is just the same ~~ and war’s a bl~~dy game….
have you forgotten yet?…
look down, and swear by the slain of the war that you’ll never forget
do you remember the dark months you held the sector at mametz, ~~
the nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
do you remember the rats; and the stench
of corpses rotting in front of the front~line trench ~~
and dawn coming, dirty~white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
do you ever stop and ask, “is it all going to happen again?”
do you remember that hour of din before the attack ~~
and the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
as you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
do you remember the stretcher~cases lurching back
with dying eyes and lolling heads, those ashen~grey
masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and g~y?
have you forgotten yet?…
look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you’ll never forget
