Everything is Illuminated (Everyone was Eliminated)



Tell me my love, did we hate before the war?
Oh but my love, a war to end all wars
Bright and brighter
Before my childs face
My grandfather fled there

Ukraine was where they built a bomb?
Oh but my love, a bomb ends all wars
Bright and brighter
Before my burning face
My grandfather fled there

And who was this girl?
Who gave in her grace
Who saved my grandfather
Not of her race
Everything is illuminated
Everyone was eliminated

Tell me my love, do dogs fight in wars?
Do they protest an unpopular cause?
Bright and brighter
From my puppy eyes
A photo, A girl's face
My grandfather fled there

Tell me my love, was this the land?
Oh but my love, they lost their cause
Bright and brighter
Before her burning eyes
My grandfather fled there

And who was this girl?
Who gave in her grace
Who saved my grandfather
Not of her race
Everything is illuminated
Everyone was eliminated

Did you see my love, we found in that place
Woah my love, the land gives pause
Bright and brighter
Before the burning graves
Grandfather's saviour lies there

And who was this girl?
Who gave in her grace
Who saved my grandfather
Not of her race
Everything is illuminated
Everyone was eliminated


Everything is illuminated
Everyone was eliminated

Everything is illuminated
Everyone was eliminated
