Lyrics by Charlie Corrozo
A A riff A F G F
Battled on for decades the war and the death rage onTaken killed in service, their lives just come and gone
Bloodshed stains the evening skies, their pain can't be forgot
Survived by those who hated them, took aim then took the shot
(Chorus)
F C G A
Keep them off my old friend
Make this sad story end
You know all we do is pretend
Do you hold your life ready to spend
Do you know where you are or what you are here for
Do you wish for it to be over or do you want to live on for more
No use in working hard for you not many days have I to live
How many hours must I fight. You say my freedom you can't give
Chorus
I hope by now you understand how I live my life today
Never getting any rest from this theatre or the play
I see my life as make believe and its grief as just bad dreams
The characters my enemies, each day a tragic scene
Chorus
