The Forgotten

The Forgotten

We send them off with a tear and a smile
Knowing they’ll go the extra mile
Fearing the knock on the door
we hold our breath for what’s in store
we pray and we go on about our day
The sacrificial lamb
Seemingly no one gives a damn
They are the forgotten
The calamities of fate
Seemingly will devastate
Some of them have made it to see another day
Only to be casted away
Trying to unsee the things they have seen
Rocking back and forth, unable to break free
They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten
They come back with despair in their eyes
unable to keep their eyes on the prize
stumbling round and round
Flashbacks of the battle ground
Running from corner to corner
Replaying the horror
They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten
Silent voices filter their minds
Unable to unwind
Aimlessly they roam
Kicked out from the place they call home
We’ve foreclosed on our own heroes
They are the Forgotten
They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten
Definitely dropped the ball
Stopped catching them when they fall
Homeless with nothing to eat
They are the nameless on the streets
Fought for us deep within the trenches
Now we turn our back from all of their stenches
A world so in love with war
We’ve forgotten what and who we’re fighting for
They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten

Bridge:
Obstruction
Corruption
Feeling like a token
Forever broken
They are the forgotten, they are the forgotten

Obstruction
Corruption
Feeling like a token
Forever broken
They are the forgotten, they are the forgotten

They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten, They are the Forgotten
The Forgotten
