Inscription description
inscribed down the front face: THERE IS A WISDOM IN OUR BONES, / IN OUR ACHING BACKS AND BLISTERED FEET. / WE BLINK THE DUST FROM OUR EYES / EVERY TIME WE AWAKE / AND BECAUSE WE REMEMBER WE REMAIN. WE MAKE OUR OWN PATHWAYS, THEY DISAPPEAR INTO SERENITY AND SUNLIGHT. FOR BENEATH THIS WORLD LIES ANOTHER, FILLED WITH DREAMS AND SCATTERED MEMORIES, THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FATHERS. OLDER VOICES ECHO DEEP IN THIS WORLD WITHIN A WORLD, AND IN STONE DUST AND DARKNESS, WE TRACE AND RETRACE THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FATHERS.
