We Were Men
Woke up screaming in bedThe silence taunts meIt's like I'm there againBut this nightmare calms me downThe fire licks my skinI feel it burn awayBullets stream overheadMy heartbeat's deafeningI've never been so afraid
But we were menWe walk the front linesWe defend our country with our livesWe pretend to see truth in all these liesCause in the end we were men
I close my eyes to hide their faces haunt meMy faith is hard to findYour picture calms me downI can't cope with the painThese pills don't workThey just leave me the sameI feel so weak todayYou made me strongSo why did you take it away?I'm trapped inside the afraid
But we were menWe walk the front linesWe defend our country with our livesWe pretend to see truth in all these liesCause in the end we were men
Soldiers don't feelThey do what they're toldYou send them to warBut they never go homeYou feed on their bones live on through their namesAnd pray for their souls that god can't save
We live to fight another dayAnd serve our country without dismayFor those who take us from our homesMay god have mercy on their souls
But we were menWe walk the front linesWe defend our country with our livesWe pretend to see truth in all these lies'Cause in the end we were menWe were men
