We Were Men

WE WERE MEN As recorded by Theory Of A Deadman (From the 2011 Album THE TRUTH IS...) [Intro] [Verse 1] Woke up screaming in bed The silence taunts me It’s like I’m there again But this nightmare calms me down The fire licks my skin I feel it burn away Bullets stream overhead My heart beats deafening I’ve never been so afraid [Chorus] But we were men We walk the front lines We defend our country with our lives We pretend to see truth in all these lies Cause in the end       we were men [Verse 2] I close my eyes to hide their faces haunt me My faith is hard to find Your picture calms me down I can’t cope with the pain These pills don’t work They just leave me the same I feel so weak today You made me strong So why did you take it away? I’m trapped inside the afraid [Chorus] But we were men We walk the front lines We defend our country with our lives We pretend to see truth in all these lies Cause in the end       we were men [Bridge] Soldiers don’t feel They do what they’re told You send them to war But they never go home You feed on their bones live on through their names And pray for their souls that god can’t save [Guitar Solo]                            [Bridge] We live to fight another day And serve our country without dismay For those who take us from our homes May god have mercy on their souls [Chorus] But we were men We walk the front lines We defend our country with our lives We pretend to see truth in all these lies Cause in the end       we were men      We were men   We were men   We were men               [Outro]
