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 heartbeats deafening
I've never been so afraid
But we were men
we walked the front lines
and 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 pill 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
im trapped inside the affray
But we were men
we walked the front lines
and we defend our country with our lives
we pretend to see truth in all these lies
cause in the end
we were men

Soliders 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, we pray for their souls
that god can't save
we live to fight another day and serve our country without dismay
and those who take us from our homes may god have mercy on their souls

But we were men
we walked the front lines
and 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
we were men
we were men
