michael ippolito - aftermath (reprise) كلمات الأغنية

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
