Forlorn Skies

Forlorn skies
Their blank eyes stare into a forlorn sky
Disgraceful figures stumble through the mists
Sons of their nations, lost generation
A tragedy beyond imagination

Burnt by the sun, drowned in the rain
Buried alive in this cold, scorched earth

No glory left to find
They all have met their demons
They all have stopped to cry
We're dying for no reason
Forlorn skies
We're dying for no reason

The day they marched into the abyss
Wantonness and confidence offended us
And flowers blazoned our doom
We lost our dreams

These withered hearts are waiting for the end
Those who will return, will never leave this hell again

A merciless horizon does not promise any hope
Father versus father
Brother against brother
A tomb for all humanity
