Small Thing Lyrics by Barton Carroll

The Lost One

2009

[Verse 1]
Listen to me, son
And I'll tell you I was a girl in Berlin
You still seem young
But I'll tell you how the Russians came in
We were like sisters
Mother and I
She was the older
Crazed and resigned
I was the younger
Naive enough to survive
Some of us got children, some of us got sick
We were at the mercy of the enemies

[Verse 2]
The first pack of broken dogs to chew through the frozen wall of Stalingrad
Drone through thе Fatherland, silent and insane
Thе next pack were green
And raged like a flood
Closing in on my Berlin
And the smell of blood

[Bridge]
Holding me down
Facing the light
I laid on my back with all my might
Lord God, let the walls melt into the door
Let my skin grow o'er and heal my sore

[Verse 3]
I heard that our brothers and our fathers did the same on their side
I heard that all brothers and all fathers do the same during wartime
I was a child
I was on the wrong side
I was broken in by broken men with drainin' eyes
War sleeps deep in a man
Long after guns are gone
He loses care for small things
And I, I was a small thing
