[Verse] Broken shields lie on the ground Echoes of silence so profound Marching feet deafening sound In this chaos we are bound [Verse 2] Flames touch the midnight sky Heroes fall yet we still try Whispered prayers as bullets fly In the ashes we don't cry [Chorus] War it breaks and tears apart Yet we fight with heavy heart In the end we play our part War it leaves a bitter mark [Verse 3] Shadows loom dark and tall In this night war claims us all Through the screams and the call We stand firm we won’t fall [Bridge] Mothers weep in the endless night Fathers' tales of a noble fight Children dream of morning light War it blinds their hopeful sight [Chorus] War it breaks and tears apart Yet we fight with heavy heart In the end we play our part War it leaves a bitter mark
