Excellent song about the hidden evils of pur nations history. The Ghosts of Alexandria Refer to a supposedly haunted town in Virginia with a racist history. The first verse refers to the lynchings (only thirteen knots away) and slavery (no chance of hope in a land of servitude;)
The second refers to womens suffrage, and the workers movement of the 1940s. the album overall addresses workers struggles vs the ruling class through out history. An excellent topic
