The memories remain
From when I was alive
All I used to be
Is buried in the snow
I lie there all alone
Far away from home
I fought until the end
With nothing to defend
And we were told that we were heroes
Not to be defeated
I found it out the hard way: they all lied
I can see the few remaining
Dying all around me
And none of them will go to heaven
Let me take you back
To where it all began
Remind you of the pain
Gathered here today
I was young, the road before me wide and neverending
Heading for a life of you and me
The days of joy, the tears of laughter
Echoes in forever
The time had come to prove I was a man
I'm one of a million marching to a certain grave
I made the war my enemy, no glory to the brave
If only I could find a way to ease my mind
Leave all this pain behind
Why am I here? Tell me why!
The world I knew was out of reach
Reality was under siege
The innocent was torn apart
In this hell out there we were dying one by one
Far away from the battlefield
By the choices made our fate was sealed
The visions of a mind insane
Is to blame for this massacre in vain
Never to retreat
Never say surrender
The winter and the cold
The invincible defender
The had the nation and Mother Nature on their side
I was told I'd be a hero
I would be rewarded
But I don't see the stone upon my grave
Now I'm just a lonely spirit
Trapped inside a nightmare
The souls of all I killed won't let me go
