Song Lyrics Verse 1
Great war
What are we
Fighting for
Leaders back at home
Claiming to be grateful
As all around me
My brothers die
By the handful
Welcomed home
As heroes
Thought it was over
Little did we know
The war
And the madness
That caused it
That made the world
Exclaim no more
Would have a sequel
Chorus
Fought against a madman
Only for his evil
To rise again
Our own country
This time blame
This is not what
We gave our lives for
Why is now at our front door
Verse 2
We were supposed
To be better
We fought to make
Our world safer
Not for our own country
To fall to the same enemy
A traitor
Turned dictator
Destroying everything
The freedom
Our own died
For others to see
From heroes
To how did we get here
Cannot take anymore
All that we did
All the good
Now means nothing
As we become the very enemy
Back then we did seek
Chorus
