lyrics
Last Day of Liberty copyright Kent Scheffler 2014
You say… Doomsday…
looks like any other day.
Birds of prey, unmarked gray,
first pass… the pilots wave.
Bank and turn, after-burn,
machine guns and bodies churn.
Tumbling bombs, what’s goin’ on?
Welcome to your own napalm.
Liberty… how can this be?
Liberty… we have forsaken thee.
Got your last letter, darling;
wish you were here.
The Mediterranean Sea is indigo blue,
someday I’ll take you… here.
The world explodes, torpedoes…
blue black waters fill the hole.
Friends fell into burning hell;
dead men… tell no tale.
Acrid smoke, did it burn your throat
when you machine-gunned the life boats?
Rescue stalled, planes recalled,
LBJ would have killed them all.
Liberty… how can this be?
Liberty… we have forsaken thee.
A simple ruse, they think they choose:
they get their choice of how to lose.
Two thousand leagues across the sea,
who raped Lady Liberty?
