|
We were shining on the front lines |
|
We were standing on a land mine |
|
But it's been a long time since |
|
I was afraid |
|
We were hunters in the daylight |
|
We were prey after midnight |
|
But it's been a long time since |
|
I was afraid |
|
We've been shining on the front lines |
|
Burning in the sunshine |
|
We've been dancing in the headlines |
|
Standing on a land mine |
|
There were flowers in the fields |
|
There were guns, human shields |
|
Ain't a daydream, this is real |
|
Ain't a smokescreen, can't conceal |
|
We were flushed with success |
|
We were crushed by excess |
|
We were standing at address |
|
We were hoping for the best |
|
We've been shining on the front lines |
|
Burning in the sunshine |
|
We've been dancing in the headlines |
|
Standing on a land mine |
|
Sang Froid at the right time |
|
Lying there waiting for the fever to break |
|
There's only so much that a body can take (don't you know) |
|
Everyone has a little piece to defend |
|
There's only so much that a body can bend |
|
There were roads that were paved |
|
Only those who were saved are coming home |
|
They're coming home |
|
Reincarnation! |
|
You're coming back as a bug |
|
Hallucinations got you crying tears on an afghan rug |
|
Hope of salvation |
|
Pray for victory |
|
You were only nineteen, you have so much to be |
|
And now you're suffering from |
|
PTSDWe were flushed with success |
|
We were crushed by excess |
|
We were standing at address |
|
We were hoping for the best |
|
We've been shining on the front lines |
|
Burning in the sunshine |
|
We've been dancing in the headlines |
|
Standing on a land mine |
|
Sang Froid at the right time |
|
Sang Froid at the right time |
