We Were Men

"Woke up screaming in bed The silence taunts me It's like I'm there again But this nightmare calms we down The fire licks my skin I feel it burn away Bullets stream overhead My heart beat's deafening I've never been so afraid But We Were Men We walked the front lines And 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 pill don't work They just leave me the same I feel so weak today You made me strong So why did you take it away I'm trapped inside the affray But We Were Men We walked 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 Soliders 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 We pray for their souls that God can't save We live to fight another day And serve our country without dismay And those who take us from our homes May God have mercy on their souls But we were men We walked the front lines And 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 We Were Men We Were Men "
