Ramey Road
Ramey Road Chronicles: Unveiling the Silent Stories of Blood and Bones
Lyrics
There's a secret cross the way
There is a hidden or undisclosed matter nearby
Buried fields and flooded graves
Fields are covered with earth, and graves are submerged in water
And cedar trees swayin' in the breeze
Cedar trees are swaying in the wind
Marking time on the ridgeline
Time is being marked on the ridgeline
They're standin' still 'neath the sky
People are stationary beneath the sky
Watchin' pickup trucks roll by
Observing pickup trucks passing by
Blood runs through the water deep
There is a presence of blood in the water
And these children they cannot sleep
Children are unable to sleep
The river bears a heavy load
The river carries a significant burden
For blood runs over Ramey Road
Blood is flowing over Ramey Road
Lift the houses turn the stones
Houses should be raised, and stones turned
Gather those we left alone
Collect those we abandoned
Seek in every basement wall
Search in every basement wall
Find the bones and free 'em all
Discover the bones and release them all
Take 'em now up those steps
Take them up the steps
Bring 'em back so they can rest
Bring them back so they can find peace
Blood runs through the water deep
Blood is present in the deep water
And these mothers they cannot sleep
Mothers are unable to sleep
The river bears a heavy load
The river carries a heavy burden of bones
For bones lie under Ramey Road
Bones are lying under Ramey Road
Grassy Fields o'er broken backs
Fields with grass cover broken backs
Restless souls under railroad tracks
Restless souls are beneath railroad tracks
Dig em up and bring em home
Exhume them and bring them home
Gather up their scattered bones
Gather the scattered bones
Blood runs through the water deep
Blood is flowing in the deep water
And these fathers they cannot sleep
Fathers are unable to sleep
The river bears a heavy load
The river bears a heavy burden of blood
For blood runs over Ramey Road
Blood is running over Ramey Road
Blood runs over Ramey Road
Blood is present and flowing over Ramey Road
