O'l Man's Curse
A generational story — a curse laid at birth, and the war that shadowed a childhood.

My old man's curse was so high for his will,
so it stood thirty years at his door (2x)
He was cursed on the morning of the day he was born
And it stays till the day he dies
He was cursed on the morning of the day he was born
And it stays till the day he dies
He was cursed on the morning of that day
That faithful night in early July.
And as a child he saw that war, that took six million lives
In that hour, he carried death while he marched to survive.
And no one seems to hear at all
At night while she cries
Her tears will soon turn to blood
The blood of six million lives
