Misasa Bridge over Mitoku River in Tottori (Japan)

Tonight the report that I read 
Told of midnight funeral pyres 
In valleys that swallowed the dead 
Torched around Misasa Bridge.

Misasa Bridge. 
Once crossed there's no turning back. 
Misasa Bridge. 
Witness to the first attack 
Of the new age. 
Burned like letters on the page. 
Misasa Bridge.

Lyrics of Misasa Bridge
about the bombing of this bridge in World War II
