Can't believe I will live Forever
As I try to pretend
Dead and gone are my kin and I know
That I will follow soon
Feel no pain but I won't go on
Tell me now what is going on
They all try to control our thinking
They sway the purple heart
When we're gone
No such piece of metal
Will ease our families' pain
(It's always been like that. The one deelaring war
Are not the ones who fight, are not the ones who suffer,
Are not the ones who die. They are blind)
Heroes we will be, That's what they tell us
I won't belive their propaganda
For a higher goal we're used like pawns
We are the ones, ohh, ooh
Kill for life
No time to think it over
Or you're the next in line
Constant fear, but no chance to show it
No time for your last prayer
We all fight for a higher goal
What it is no one's ever told
Left behind all the former heroes
No sign of thankfulness
Can't forget waht I had to witness
I am a different man
(What were we fighting for?
Honor, glory, our country, our families?
In the end, we are alone.
Left alone with what we have witnessed and done.)
Heroes we will be that's what they tell us
I Won't believe their propaganda
For a higher goal we're used like pawns
We are the ones, ohh, ohh
(We will be forgotten, our bodies are rotting)
Offering our sons
Hoping that they'll make us proud
(Heroes in advance, it all makes no sense)
Years spent in pain
Praying to see them again
No one understands what we're going through
But everyone judges what our sons do
Better serve our country than end up in the gutter
They say and that's what they will do
