We Were Men lyrics

Woke up screaming in bed

The silence taunts me

It's 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 heartbeat's 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 haunt me

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

You send them to war

But they never go home

You feed on their bones live on through their names

And pray for their souls that god can't save

We live to fight another day

And serve our country without dismay

For those who take us from our 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
