Part I: Only the wind

And somewhere As moonlight falls upon these graves We all turn silent and bow our heads Too many, too young have died Now, only the wind is whispering: “Dreams are buried here...”

Part II: Lament for the path of war.

Green fields and countless graves Witness in silence The broken dreams Of a son, a father, a mother, a daughter, brother or sister... The path of war Offers the road to glory But often ends here A place where dreams are buried... This part starts with weeping voices, lamenting the violent confrontation to come. Instruments argue with each other and the drums of war start to sound, taking us to the violence and confusion of the battlefield. Suddenly this all stops for the soldier who is killed, leaving his unfulfilled life and dreams on the battlefield... and also those of his family and loved ones....

Part III: Falling

So many fallen, Graves as far as the eye can see, And all their hopes and dreams are buried here, But one or two remain, And I am One. What of tomorrow, will I be here? Sunshine or Sorrow? Falling Down, Falling Down—And Getting Up And Falling Down, To The Ground Haven't got a clue, just the thought of you, that's what gets me through, I'd be lost ... without you. So into battle, we ask youth to die Too many dreams lost and no-one knows why Falling Down, etc I sometimes wonder, why did I survive? I mean, why me? Haven't got a clue, just the thought of you, that's what gets me through, I'd be lost ... without you. An old man surveys a sea of graves; they belong to his fallen comrades from a war long ago. He ponders why he survived and they didn’t. In the song, he returns to his youth and the horrors of the battlefield. It was not “faith” that kept his hopes alive in the heat of the battle, but the thought of seeing his beloved, again. Though he survives, one image is forever etched in his memory: Falling Down ... Getting Up and Falling Down. Written by Artie Q - inspired by part 1.

Part IV: What of tomorrow?

What of tomorrow? Haven’t got a clue... What of tomorrow? Just the thought of you, (Dreams) That’s what gets me through What of tomorrow deals with 2 questions. How do you go on when the unthinkable has happened, and your loved one has become a name on a wall, on a cross in an endless field,... How do you go on with your life? “What of tomorrow?” is also a more global question. Will humanity ever be able to solve our differences without turning to violence? How many wars do we have to fight... How many dreams will be lost?

Part V: Just the thought of you

Written by Mindmovie - inspired by part 4. A worthy conclusion to "Dreams...".
