[Verse 1]

Combing the streets

Public addressing

The people are sorted

By gender and age

[Chorus]

Shadow of the future

Shadow of the past

One minute of silence

Made out of wood

[Verse 2]

The men are lined up

Then shot into graves

The children are murdered

The women enslaved

[Chorus]

Shadow of the future

Shadow of the past

One minute of silence

Made out of wood

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Shadow of the future

Shadow of the past

One minute of silence

Made out of wood

Shadow of the future

Shadow of the past

One minute of silence

Made out of wood
