Great vocal that I’ve cleaned up a little and repitched here and there and phrased it to the backing track.

Thanks to Brian for the sax

Lyrics:
Gonna buy us a flat piece of land
maybe an acre or two
something that’s ours forever
where no one can take it away

Gonna bring in a stack of stones
a real good hammer and chisel
go ahead and get a start on the names
so they’re ready - for when the first one dies
- when the first one dies

Nothing fancy, just a name and a date
And a little code you can scan
So those who don’t know - can know
this is the person you were

And the words over the arch at the entrance
“For The Children Of Palestine”
and a small sign that reads
“no peace, no rest”

Here lies the ones
Here lies the ones
Here lies the ones
who thought they got away

once the ghosts can no longer haunt you
the living can haunt your ghost
for when a monster escapes justice
justice is in the remembering

and for you who’ll pass in perfect peace
never one more thought given
your soul is free to go wherever souls go
but here - in this place
your name - will reside

Here lies the ones
Here lies the ones
Here lies the ones
who thought they got away

We can have tours in the morning
dance parties into the night
and privacy whenever you need it
to leave a prayer or a piss

and out on the edge of the grounds
two stones forever left blank
one for those who didn’t care to stop it
the other - for you and me - who did not - do - enough

Here lies the ones
Here lies the ones
Here lies the ones
who thought they got away
