The Pain Of Glory

-first singer-
I wish I was your hero, dress me up in uniform;
Place the gun in my hands, let’s make these rebels conform.
Sending kids out to war, murder is the final price;
Simple badges show courage, as we make our lives your sacrifice.

We,
Break them, condemn, this mayhem, must stop;
I hear, this fear, see your tears, they drop.

-both singers-
*chorus*
Why did you start this battle,
Why did you start this war;
We know you see it’s breaking us,
We’ve all been here before!

Breaking down, hope for peace;
Dying men, but the fights increase!
One more day, one more night;
It’s all a lie, till we’ve lost, this, fight…
*chorus*

-first singer-
See our troops are falling, know that there’s more to come;
Hope to win this battle, that's when you know today is done.
We hear our people hope for peace, and so we fight this war;
Until that day that's soon to come, when our pain is no more.

-second singer-
I wish you were my saviour, these uniforms hold superman;
Facing blood that we can't see, breaking demons with your plans.
Sent away to fight for us, the bullets whistle you take a dive;
Winning this war for peace, our sons we need you to survive.
We need to know that you survived!

-first singer-
We hear the broken screaming, it’s time to find the light;
Walking towards my heaven, as I see my comrades fight.
Through the blood and bones, we see the light of dawn;
I may be dead and you have fallen, but there’s no time to mourn.
Many soldiers lay dying, enemies or not you don’t know;
And help’s for all the hurt children, whether they be friend or foe.

We,
Break them, condemn, this mayhem, must stop;
I hear, this fear, see your tears, they drop.

-both singers-
*chorus*
Why did you start this battle,
Why did you start this war;
We know you see it’s breaking us,
We’ve all been here before!

Breaking down, hope for peace;
Dying men, but the fights increase!
One more day, one more night;
It’s all a lie, till we’ve lost, this, fight.
*chorus*

-first singer-
I know I was your hero, I was dressed up in uniform;
See my coffin carried, by comrades who escaped the storm.
You sent me out to win this war, my murder was my final price;
Letters sent to say sorry, my life became your sacrifice.

Hope for peace, fights increase;
One more night, we’ve lost, this, fight.

We’ve lost… this… fight…
