Fallen Fathers
Fallen Sons
Fallen Brothers
To the ground

Question asked
Was it worth it
No reply
Just forget it

No one cares
Why should we
Memories
Long forgotten
Bodies burned
Ashes scattered

Why should it matter
They all are dead and gone
Sacrifices wasted on us
What did they die for
Can we not just see

They died for all of us
They died for the young of us
They died for their loved one's sakes
How can we forsake them

Yes people aren't perfect
But neither are we
We've all made a few mistakes
So why can't we see it

On the blood of our fathers
On the blood of our sons
We can reshape our future
We are not bound to one

One fate
One chance
Is that all we've got
Just a single shot at a future
That doesn't sound hot to me

A single mess up could
Break the world
A single screw up
World unrailed

We cannot destroy what our
Fathers have left us
Or we'll be doomed to fail

Holding on to their legacy
Like a monument to their memory
Keep hold, Hold tight
Hope still remains

Because they..
They died for all of us
They died for the young of us
They died for their loved one's sakes

How can we forsake them

Yes people aren't perfect
But neither are we
We've all made a few mistakes
So why can't we see it

On the blood of our fathers
On the blood of our sons
We can reshape our future
We are not bound to one

Ancestor to ancestor

Descendant to descendant

Every generation sees a war
That's not changing
Anytime soon

We just have to hold on

To the things our fathers died for

The things our brothers fight for

For the things we may pay for

Because people aren't perfect

And neither are we

We'll all make a few mistakes

Then maybe we will see it

The blood of our fathers

The blood of our sons

They reshape our future

Because of them

We're not bound to one
