The day They Died

  they walk down the street
their hands at their side
there's not a smile on their faces
and no can see why
they were boys not to long ago
and now they're in a pinch
the foods gone
their mind's a mess
their hearts are missing
and no one cares

They are soldiers
they are men
they are the symbol of the country's men
they are freedom, they are hope
they've seen destruction and they're trying to cope
They are lost and no one sees
they fight for their country
but whats the fee?

The German's soldiers are not scared
they fight for power and there's no end
they're soldiers get younger
when they recruit
and yet they say they're evil to you
They sacrifice just as much as you
maybe more then what you knew
they had family, and they breathed too
they had hearts and feelings just like us too
too bad they died 'cause we could've worked it out if we really wanted too

They were solders,
they were men
they were the symbol of our hearts content
they were forced, and we were true
but who is the real evil to you?
they caused many deaths
and so many more came
but how long till we end the pain

The graves they are, we cannot count
we can only stand there and smile and pretend we knew
all the pain all these men went through
men, and children alike, they all came together to rule with their might
they were brave
and we were true
we ignored the warnings and now this is whats due
they have died, we have lived
we are punished for what they did
they sought freedom and forgiveness
and this is what it came too
who is the real evil here....
I can't ask you...

we are a country
and that is true
they were the men who shouldn't have been lied to
but they fought with their hearts and gave up their soul
and whether we like it or not
their stories been told
the nightmares still follow them
so lets give them peace
Let them relish there's finally peace.
to this day, they haven't died
they live in our hearts
when the poppies fly
