Music Box
The music box Is all that's left in the empty houseMust've left it when they moved outIn a hurry to flee the townArmoured tanks Broke through all of the soldier's ranksYou can be sure they weren't shooting blanksFrom bodies laid out on the groundThere's a song your father had sung When you were just knee highNow a soldier plays the same tuneFrom the toy you left behind Something to remind youSomething to remind youBurnt to black There's a face you don't recogniseJust a doll with hollow eyesAnd a feeling you can't describeIn factoriesToys are made by the companiesWho create our killing machinesSo the planet can rest at easeLetras de cancionesThere's a story you had to hearWhen you couldn't sleep at allNow the pages are burning in some Sad unholy warSomething to remind youSomething to remind youSomething to remind youThe ones you left behind you Something to remind youSomething to remind youSomething to remind youThe ones you left behind youThe music box Plays a song that I used to loveBut now I can't remember what it wasFor my memory has faded From Letras Mania
