"Woke up screaming in bed
The silence taunts me
It's like I'm there again
But this nightmare calms we down
The fire licks my skin
I feel it burn away
Bullets stream overhead
My heart beat's 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
I'm trapped inside the affray
But We Were Men
We walked 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
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
