“Elephant Graveyard (Live)” (2008). Live at Mr. Spot’s in Seattle. Drums by Justin Pascua.

lyrics

In a separate attack five American soldiers were killed when a remote bomb detonated and spilled blood

You say
A thousand ways
That we'll stay
And it rips me again

Television film of a similar incident in Somalia sickened Americans over the U.S. mission there

You say
A thousand ways
That we'll stay
And it rips me again

Proclaim
Democracy
Moves forth
That it's taking root

Some body parts were raised and left hanging from a telephone cable while incinerated

"The fate of all Americans"
"The fate of all Americans"
"The fate of all Americans"
We share the same fate

You say
A thousand ways
That we'll stay
And it rips me again

Proclaim
Three-thousand graves
Pray tell
How will it end?

The White House
Vowed the U.S.
Would stay the course.
