Tracers from Red by Birkett Hall
Tracers evolved in part from the influences around us.. Bangkok was burning as the words were finding their way to paper, and you don't have to look far to see the effects of the continuous waging of war.. seems like we've evolved little from the time when a sharp pointed stick ruled the land..
"lest we forget" .. and it seems we do.

Lyrics
Tracers
i'm every war that ever was waged
every bullet fired in fear
every soldier caught up in the
crossfire
tracer lights the sky
i see you in the sniper's eye
a breath
and a finger-pull away from
good bye..
tracer light's so beautiful
all life in silhouette
outside the wire lest we forget
a dough-boy on a bayonet...
pennies flattened by a train
that never will be whole again.
you've killed more times than you've been laid
tomorrow it's your birthday
19 candles never lit
19 candles sniper hit
the trees around you singing
you're sinking to your knees
you're every war that ever was
and every soldier caught up in
the crossfire..
