December 1943 Lyrics by Defeater

Abandoned

2015

I can't remember (Remember)
Each time it slipped right through my fingers
The eyes and faces of my brothers (My brothers)
They never made it back home to their mothers
And all I remember (Remember)
Of 1943 December
Is Sullivan and I behind the line
We gather the flock to hold a mass with the father
And the smoke lead the way back to death and flames
My disbelief in what laid before me
Bombed out with no warning, no hope
No hands to hold, no hands to pray for me
No hands to hold, no hands to pray
No hands to hold, no hands to pray
No hands to hold, no hands to pray
No hands to hold
And I remember
The prayers my mother's mother taught her
And though I'm no believer
I'd be dead with my fellow men if not for the preacher
No hands to pray
If I should die before, before I wake
I pray the lord for my soul, my soul to take
No hands to hold, no hands to pray
No hands to hold, no hands to pray for me
No hands to fold, no hands to pray
No hands to hold, no hands to pray for me
No hands to fold, no hands to pray
No hands to hold, no hands to pray for me
