Unmissed Casualties lyrics

Spent in magnanimous disposition

Deposited like brittle millstones yet

Fractured by their wear, their use

Returned to heaps of turned earth

From where they once had all come

Never to see old age, nor glory be

N'er to see the final crop, nor liberty

Unnoticed, unfamiliar, lost by time

Their faces, their voices faded fast

'Til none were known or exceptional

That's the way of the world, routine

The mediocrities unable to bloom

A destiny short-lived and disposable

Shards trampled upon the ground

That line the path all consuming

Those unmissed casualties deemed so

Suffering a cost in mankind's learning

That's e'er remedial, and unlimited

Unnoticed, they fall like grains of sand

Never to cast a shadow once again
