A SHOCK OF WHITE HAIR

A Shock of White Hair
—–
Look at the carnage
and see what is there
1,000,000 bones
and a shock of white hair

Camps all over
but no one to care
2,000,000 bones
and a shock of white hair

Slaughter and chaos
The blood everywhere
3,000,000 bones
and a shock of white hair

Smell of the gas
Ashes in the air
4,000,000 bones
and a shock of white hair

The piles of ghosts
Nothing can compare
5,000,000 bones
and a shock of white hair

Look at the carnage
Go look if you dare
6,000,000 bones
and a shock of white hair
