Arch Enemy - Tears Of The Dead lyrics

Hideous crimes, atrocities The slaughter of millions - beyond belief Those were dark times, so different from now The law of evil ruled our fatherland I was but a pawn in their game Why should I feel any guilt? Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back I can't defy it, can't deny it I know it ot be true In my sleep - they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far to late My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes... Confronting me - Judging me Now an old man, at the end of my days Contemplating - My life of sin Living is never simple - the rosad is hard I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play
