I Walked The Bridge Over River Kwai.

I've had just enough time to...   walk over the River Kwai.

Taken while walking on the Death Railway over River Kwai, Thailand.

When I walked the bridge over River Kwai, 

When I walked over the Railway of Death, 

Did I hear the moans of restless souls 

Fallen on the beds below? 

Did I hear the whispers in the wind 

Carried by the bamboo groves 

Whose roots entwined with their bones 

Enriched by their flesh and blood?

The lush valley hides many a bitter tales 

Of foolish men and their foolish war 

And no matter how they paint it over 

Where is the glory in that? 

If you take a quiet walk 

You may hear a curling scream 

You probably imagined it 

Or maybe you did not.
