Ghost Train Radio1914 Ghost Bridge
While I can’t make any sense of this Russian Invasion (or any other war), I can at least think about my parents and grandparents who were part of the two World Wars. My grandfather fought for the Germans in WWI – but was a pacifist and refused to shoot and kill anyone. My father landed on the beach in Normandy in WWII fighting for the Americans, and was in ordinance fixing tanks and jeeps and whatnot. By the time Vietnam rolled around I just missed the draft by a couple of years. My father said he’d move us to Canada if he had to to avoid another senseless war.
You laid in your foxhole
You couldn't hurt a fly
Grandpa Dearest
You're a hero of mine
No country too big
To take another's life
You lived and let live
The Teachings of Christ
Ghosts of that war
Have come back to haunt
The bridge in the valley
What the enemy wants
Chorus
1914 Ghost Bridge
Just over the hill
The enemy advances
Against our will
