NAMES ON A STONE
(Robbie Ellis)

Once they were infants and how could they know
Child ways and schooldays and learning to grow
So many wonders a new world could show
Were to change, were to change

When the petals had fallen
And the spirits had flown
Leaving heroes of history
Names on a stone

Infants grew older, parents grew wise
Fear in their hearts replaced hope in their eyes
Storm clouds gathered in political skies
Bringing change, bringing change

The tragedy written the players all past
The stage set in France as the world stood aghast
As death rolled in waves a tide never surpassed
People changed, people changed

As the petals kept falling
And the spirits had flown
Leaving heroes of history
Names on a stone

(Musical bridge)


Leaving heroes of history
Names on a stone

The heart of a nation shredded and torn
Vision (decaying) and reason withdrawn
Only destruction to prove they were born
Nothings changed, nothings changed

For the petals had fallen
And the spirits had flown
Leaving heroes of history
Names on a stone


Names on a stone. Robbie Ellis
