I know we'll never see the northern star
And our eyes turn at home so far
As the land is bare like our fates
Our return the spring awaits
Are we still those who left
Or just a name in an empty shell
Are we still worthy of our name
We, who return broken and in vain
Fight charge wait shoot march live die
Always as you've ordered us to
Leave suffer mourn pray cry
Always like you never wanted to
I know we're still those who left
We're not a name in an empty shell
Are we still worthy of our name
We, who return in vain
