Have you ever seen a blood red sun in a smoked filled sky
Have you ever run for cover when the bullets start to fly
Or slept inside the hole you dug just to stay alive
Another night
If you take a look you'll see the tears held back within my eyes
Look a little closer you'll see what's lost inside
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
Before the fight
Lest we forget what does it mean
When every generation bares the scars of battle scenes
To sacrafice so many lives in the name of peace
And with such ease
