Sixteen
They're only sixteen the year was 1914
But they had no choice they had to fight
Fight for this country, fight for the nation
The tears fall down her cheeks
Knowing she may not see me again
But I see this as an adventure
Our country has been in war
For nearly twenty years
No one knows when this will end
No one knows when
When will this war end
When will soldiers have a day at home
As they run up the frontlines
Fear opens their minds
As they run alongside their kind
They fight expecting glory
To find hell redefined
Thoughts running like a train wreck
Shell shock, psychosis, depression
Disconnected from reality
Unable to see the real
Some leave without limbs
Our country has been in war
For nearly twenty years
No one knows when this will end
No one knows when
When will this war end
When will this war end
When will this war end
When will soldiers have a day at home
But they had no choice they had to fight
Fight for this country, fight for the nation
The tears fall down her cheeks
Knowing she may not see me again
But I see this as an adventure
Our country has been in war
For nearly twenty years
No one knows when this will end
No one knows when
When will this war end
When will soldiers have a day at home
As they run up the frontlines
Fear opens their minds
As they run alongside their kind
They fight expecting glory
To find hell redefined
Thoughts running like a train wreck
Shell shock, psychosis, depression
Disconnected from reality
Unable to see the real
Some leave without limbs
Our country has been in war
For nearly twenty years
No one knows when this will end
No one knows when
When will this war end
When will this war end
When will this war end
When will soldiers have a day at home
