That Hill lyrics

There in the midst of nothingness

Stood a hill of no consequence

Numbered by its elevation

A nameless, useless knoll

Upon it was the enemy dug in

An obsticle to advancement

That could be easily bypassed

If not fot its presence there

An abstract idea of politics

A devilish one of ego forbade

This hill that stood silently

While men trod in struggles

So they came in strength

Those that bet their lives there

They that anteed up the wager

Stakes trapped the winners

With all their might thrown

Gambling, winner take all

Faltering to the last man

And the battle's din ceded

In that silence was a loss

History trades glory for shame

Those living on only know

Kept in their hearts stilled

Bit by bit the fading facts fall

No faces, no names, none

Rusty relics do dot the land

Silently still stands that hill
