David Bridie - Nation (Of the Heartless Kind) lyrics

We dare not move We sit close by, we're drinking the spoils, ignoring the cries The one in every three dead Haunting back on our shores Is this all we've got the energy for? Where has our heart gone? Selective memory, isolationists Falling back on ourselves pretend that we're strong We're not that strong… I believe that we had the chance to show The strength in our heart, true test of our metal And when the first hurdle came with the yards to be done We fell, we crashed, we cried and fell down Is this our whole nation of the heartless kind This here's a sorrowful song This here's a sorrowful song Remember back when the Great Wars ended They took us to those places, very special places And we told them all, we'd never forget We'd stand arm in arm Judge us by the way we act now Is my whole nation of the heartless kind This here's a sorrowful song This here's a sorrowful song This here's a sorrowful song This here's a sorrowful song This here's a sorrowful song A sorrowful nation, a sorrowful song A sorrowful nation for a beautiful nation For a sorrowful nation Is this my whole nation of the heartless kind? This here's a sorrowful song This here's a sorrowful song
