This small spot of the ocean
Holds a history mostly untold
A chronicle I shall archive
Incorporated 1954
This colony by the shore
Into which our life we shall derive
Where I was born and raised
Where I spent my younger days
Where one day I'll die
Where my body will lie
In a graveyard in Alexander Bay
This will always be my home
Where the shipyard's lights are shone
My roots run deep in this place
My family toiled and fought
Against the forestrial rot
And they were never displaced
Where I was born and raised
Where I spent my younger days
Where one day I'll die
Where my body will lie
In a graveyard in Alexander Bay

Mystery Veteran [Live]

One hundred years ago
You fought in a Great War
A man I will never know
Only told of in my family's lore
With a gun
And a knife
You fought o'er hill and trench
For the king
And country
Shooting 'til every round spent
Deceiver's
Believer
Just another life to lose
Your duty
To serve them
You didn't have to choose
But in times of war the propaganda runs deep
Proclaimed that if you didn't go then you were weak
The lies fed to your mind enforced your final choice
Bolstered the ranks and made the generals rejoice
Off you go
To the front
With a rifle in your hand
Under fire
And smokescreens
In the dead of No Man's Land
Enemies
All 'round you
But not a sclera you can see
Yet somehow
You survived
Against the odds overseas
But in times of war the propaganda runs deep
Proclaimed that if you didn't go then you were weak
The lies fed to your mind enforced your final choice
Bolstered the ranks and made the generals rejoice
Ugh
Ah!
This mystery veteran that I'll never know
At least his story has been told
A tale like that of countless others
Deceased husbands, sons, and brothers
Ough!
This legacy defiled
In the wake of revelation
No great honour found in combat
No patriotism for a nation
Killing for those callous bastards
Who squabble over borders
Is no great feat to brag for
Only a victim follows orders
[Solo: Bobby Warlock]
This mystery veteran that I'll never know
At least his story has been told
A tale like that of countless others
Deceased husbands, sons, and brothers
