We Are Marching Ever Forward

We are marching ever forward,
Forward is what we do;
We are marching ever forward,
Progress certain and true.
We are marching ever forward,
No past to explicate,
We are marching ever forward,
No shame to mitigate.

We are marching ever forward,
Partisan reds and blues;
We are marching ever forward,
In segregated shoes.
We are marching ever forward,
Hail Mary full of grace,
We are marching ever forward,
Where holy has no place.

We are marching ever forward,
Bodies desecrated;
We are marching ever forward,
Conscience liquidated.
We are marching ever forward,
Dreaming of more to get;
We are marching ever forward
With pockets full of debt.

We are marching ever forward,
With wanting hearts of holes;
We are marching ever forward,
And puking up our souls.
We are marching ever forward,
Oh Bethlehem unknown;
We are marching ever forward,
While turning into stone.
