Kronos Quartet – First Landing: Descent Lyrics

Classical

I wish my little boy could see this
I wish my son Bucky could see this
This beauty
This beauty
This beauty
Beauty
Such beauty
This beauty
Such beauty
This beauty
Ah
This beauty
Ah
Such beauty
Ah
Just for a moment
I wish my little boy could see this
I wish Bucky could see this
This beauty
This beauty
This...
This...
This...

This
This
This
This
There
This
This
There
That
That
This
That
There
What's going on?
What's going on here?
What?

How on earth?
Look! What's this?
Look! Look there!
Along the hedgerow!
Along the road!
Here, there!
There, there!
There, there!
In the rice paddy!
Weren't those people
Just walking to market?
Their baskets waiting to be filled?
Weren't those people
Just heading to the fields
On this bright morning?
On this bright morning?
I'm taking her down
I'm taking her down
Open the door!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Open the fucking door!
Look! In that ditch!
That girl is still moving!
Medic!
Medic!
That girl is still moving!
Where in God's name is the medic?
The captain walks up
Pokes her with his boot
His boot
He raises his automatic
And...
God in Heaven
What did you do
Creating such a son of a bitch?
