How Does It Feel? (To Be the Mother of a Thousand Dead)? Crass

PROLOGUE

[Verse: Eve Libertine]
When you woke this morning you looked so rocky eyed
Blue and white normally but strange ringed like that in black
It doesn't get much better, your voice can get just ripped up shooting in vain
Maybe someone hears what you say but you're still on your own at night
You've got to make such a noise to understand the silence
Screaming like a jackass, ringing ears so you can't hear the silence
Even when it's there, like the wind seen from the window
Seeing it but not being touched by it
We never asked for war
Nor in the innocence of our birth were we aware of it
We never asked for war
Nor in the struggle to realisation did we feel there was a need for it
We never asked for war
Nor in the joyful colours of our childhood were we conscious of its darkness

HOW DOES IT FEEL (TO BE THE MOTHER OF A THOUSAND DEAD)?

[Intro]
How does it feel?!

[Chorus]
How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?
Young boys rest now
Cold graves in cold earth
How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?
Sunken eyes lost now
Empty sockets in futile death
