|
Woke up screaming in bed |
|
The silence taunts me |
|
Is like I'm there again |
|
But this nightmare calms me down |
|
The fire licks my skin |
|
I feel it burn away |
|
Bullets stream overhead |
|
My heart beats deafening |
|
I've never been so afraid |
|
But we were men |
|
We walk the front lines |
|
We defend our country with our lives |
|
We pretend to see truth in all these lies |
|
Cause in the end we were men |
|
I close my eyes to hide their faces haunt me |
|
My faith is hard to find |
|
Your picture calms me down |
|
I can't cope with the pain |
|
These pills don't work |
|
They just leave me the same |
|
I feel so weak today |
|
You made my strong |
|
So why did you take it away? |
|
I'm trapped inside the afraid |
|
But we were men |
|
We walk the front lines |
|
We defend our country with our lives |
|
We pretend to see truth in all these lies |
|
Cause in the end we were men |
|
Soldiers don't feel |
|
They do what they're told |
|
You send them to war but |
|
They never go home |
|
You feed on their bones |
|
Live on through their names |
|
They cry for their souls |
|
That God can't save |
|
We live to fight another day |
|
And serve our country without dismay |
|
But those that take us from our homes |
|
May God have mercy on their souls |
|
But we were men |
|
We walk the front lines |
|
We defend our country with our lives |
|
We pretend to see truth in all these lies |
|
Cause in the end we were men |
|
We were men x4 |
