lyrics

I left my mother, my sister, my brother.
To follow my father into the war.
I left them crying, begging and trying,
To change my mind as I walked out the door.

But they'll never reach me.
I'm already dead.
Trying to catch up.
To my father's footsteps ahead.

So where will you go when our bodies lay low?
You know we're so weak and so cold.
Just lament at the edge of our graves
And say how we'll never grow old.

But I'll never hear you.
I'm already dead.
Trapped in the cycle.
Like my father ahead.

We are the brave, and we are the lost
And we are the ones whose lives gave.
Where is the peace and where is the love?
And where are the promises you made?
We prayed?

But I'll never hear you
I'm already dead.
I'll never save you.
I already dead.
Caught in the cycle.
Like my father ahead.
I'll never save you.
I already dead.
