about

Originally written for Song Fight.

lyrics

I never doubted it was true
If you won’t learn from history
It just repeats on you
But all the same it must be said
We sure spend a lot of time
Discussing our days with the dead

History can’t quite be history
until it’s firmly in the past
Remembrance will turn to necrocracy
When with ghosts we stand steadfast

Sins of our fathers will persist
While our forebears hang around
Their mode of thought can’t be dismissed
Make room for what we’ve learned since then
Get started tearing history down
Don’t make the same mistakes again

The past contains much that should not be forgotten
Meaning derives from both beautiful and rotten
Give us some credit—I swear I’d still recall
Heroes and villains without their corpses in the hall
