lyrics

lay me down slowly,
don't let me fall too hard.
lay me down with ease boys,
this life was much too short.

graceless, your hands are rushing
so eager to let me go.
you forget the times we fought
side by side, through the numbing cold.

although i may seem lifeless,
i can hear the words you say
i feel those blades slowly making their way,
slipping right through my spine.

what is this battle we wage
on our own brothers?
stealing our last breath
from our neighbor
to slander the others.

what caused this senseless rage
so harsh and so dark?
it's placing us in these graves.

our families will be convinced
that we died here with honor
that we fought with all we had
but we were just kids
willing to do whatever we could
to keep our feet on home land.

graceless, your hands are rushing
so eager to let me go.
you forget the times we fought
side by side, through the numbing cold.

what is this battle we wage
on our own brothers?
stealing our last breath
from our neighbor
to slander the others.
