Forgotten Tears
The dawn brings seventeen heroes to their graves
They can't get rid of all the scars that still remain
Came home to a country, no lesson learned
They know it just repeats, another generation burns
They didn't enter war to land in second place
"We're gonna get you home," he says to a dying face
They're telling them to run when they barely know how to crawl
You either grow up quick or you don't grow up at all
They march into a line
To face their dying day
Last breath before their eyes
Blood dripping down their face
They gave up their lives
Just to be erased
Forgotten tears they cry
Always stay alert, they stand until they fall
Covered in a layer of dirt; the bodies are getting tall
He doesn't eat for days and his body trembles still
Come night his screams ring out, haunted by those he killed
They march into a line
To face their dying day
Last breath before their eyes
Blood dripping down their face
They gave up their lives
Just to be erased
Forgotten tears they cry
They march into a line
To face their dying day
Last breath before their eyes
Blood dripping down their face
They gave up their lives
Just to be erased
Forgotten tears they cry
They can't get rid of all the scars that still remain
Came home to a country, no lesson learned
They know it just repeats, another generation burns
They didn't enter war to land in second place
"We're gonna get you home," he says to a dying face
They're telling them to run when they barely know how to crawl
You either grow up quick or you don't grow up at all
They march into a line
To face their dying day
Last breath before their eyes
Blood dripping down their face
They gave up their lives
Just to be erased
Forgotten tears they cry
Always stay alert, they stand until they fall
Covered in a layer of dirt; the bodies are getting tall
He doesn't eat for days and his body trembles still
Come night his screams ring out, haunted by those he killed
They march into a line
To face their dying day
Last breath before their eyes
Blood dripping down their face
They gave up their lives
Just to be erased
Forgotten tears they cry
They march into a line
To face their dying day
Last breath before their eyes
Blood dripping down their face
They gave up their lives
Just to be erased
Forgotten tears they cry
