Lyrics

They loaded their guns on a summer night
They ushered the men and boys into a narrow line
At the edge of a field near a stand of trees
The fathers and sons were told to get down on their knees
Then it rained and the women prayed for their men to home that night
Then it rained and the young girls cried for their brothers who were born to dive
When it rained
The order was given and the rifles fired
Trenches were dug and bodies thrown into the pile
Filling the shallow graves with dirt
Under cover of darkness, they repaired the fragile Earth
Then it rained and their mothers tried to pretend that it would be all right.
Then it rained and the young girls cried for their lovers who they lost the night when it rained
Oh Srebrenica who calls your name
Oh Srebrenica I heard you calling today
Oh Srebrenica, where the rain washes all the mud away
The soldiers move on to another place
To dance withy the devil and his genocidal face
Morning arrives with no rising son
Satellite imagery surveys the muddy ground
and it rains....
