We Were Men

Woke up screaming in bed

The silence taunts me

Is like I'm there again

But this nightmare calms me down

The fire licks my skin

I feel it burn away

Bullets stream overhead

My heart beats deafening

I've never been so afraid



But we were men

We walk 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



I close my eyes to hide their faces haunting

My faith is hard to find

Your picture calms me down

I can't cope with the pain

These pills 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 afraid



But we were men

We walk 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

Soldiers don't feel

They do what they're told

They send them to war but

They never go home

We feed on their bones

Live on through their names

They cry for their souls

That god cant save



We live to fight another day

And serve our country without dismay

But those who take us from out homes

May God have mercy on their souls

But we were men

We walk 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

We were men x4
