Collecting pieces of my family In an old pillow case This one has a skull
But it don't have a face These look like the arms of father so strong And the ring on this finger
Means my Grandmother's gone Here's some legs in a cloud Where my sister once played
Here's some mud made of blood And these teeth are decayed The ear of my brother
The hand of a friend And I just can't Put them back together again
Pick up the bones And set them on fire Follow the smoke going higher and higher Pick up the bones And wish them goodnight Pray them a prayer and turn out the light
There are stains on the floor Where kitchen once stood There are ribs on the fire place Mixed with the wood
There are forces in the air Ghosts in the wind Some bullets in the back And some scars on the skin
There were demons with guns Who marched through this place Killing everything that breathed They're an inhuman race
There are holes in the walls Bloody hair on the bricks And the smell of this hell Is making me sick
Pick up the bones And set them on fire Follow the smoke going higher and higher Pick up the bones And wish them goodnight Pray them a prayer and turn out the light
Pick up the bones And set them on fire Follow the scope going higher and higher Pick up the bones And wish them goodnight Pray them a prayer and turn out the light
Now maybe someday The suns gonna shine Flowers will bloom And all will be fine
But nothing will grow On this burnt cursed ground Cuz the breathe of the death Is the only sound
