Felt you standing there
At the fire's stare
Sneak attack, a downpour
The mouth of war
Flames scorched down the houses
Poured from the skies
The melting frost surrounded
The shrapnel and the gore
Hiding among the trees
All of us, evacuees
The panic's rising, no they can't see
But if they find us we'll never flee
Silent as the grave
We cross the enemy line
We won't be turn to slaves
Rather die with pride
Puppets dancing on a leash
Tin toys for the Beast
Forsaken their lives and lost their minds for the battlefield
Felt you lying there
At the enemy's stare
Knife in a back, a downfall
Endless war!
They cast down the madness
Reigned the skies
The melting tears of fierceness
Their alibi
Living like thieves
Destroyed properties
The heat is rising, no they can't flee
Total vengeance, they will see!
Already in their graves
Soldiers without a name
They will be slaves
To one Nation's pride
Puppets dancing on a leash
Tin toys for the Beast
Forsaken their lives and lost their minds for the battlefield
"Lying cold in the killing fields
Feeling numb but feeling no fear
There's one picture on my mind
There you stand by my side
My thoughts turn back to the course of time
Flickering frames of life gone by
From the very first time I was held
To the last gasp of my breath
No man stands for-ever
Like no words on a letter
We fought for the rest to live their lives
Can the future remember what we sacrificed?"
There's no future
Life is fading
All that was
Descending
There's no need for the
Casualties of war
Let them "heal" their traumas
Forever more
