Bastards of Slaughter

from Ghost by Don Paris Schlotman

/

about

This song is about how all life, since the beginning, constantly moves and evolves, and how we should be more kind and understanding to those who have been forced to move fleeing external circumstances.

lyrics

We are all children
Immigrants, sons, and daughters
We are the bastards of slaughter
Waves cresting the shore
On floating cotillions
Swirling ecosystems
Imperfect conditions
Resistance engines roar

And we march back to the sea...
We march back to the sea
Before we turn into machines
All going home

We're not just civilians
Cogs, sprockets, or pistons
On suicide missions
Fighting atomic wars
For countless generations
Nomadic sons and daughters
We are the bastards of slaughter
Our alma mater

And we march back to the sea...
We march back to the sea
We march back to the sea
Before we turn into machines
All going home
