Bound For Glory - Alone lyrics

Man of the past, a veteran survivor Now old and feeling out of place His hands are frail, his body scarred Wrinkles cover his face He gave his body, he gave his soul For his land, his family, his home He lost it all and not many seem to care That he faces the world all alone Sub-Chorus: His body is old, tired, and worn His old wounds are starting to ail The once strong and mighty soldier Feels his life is slipping away The winners of the war wrote the history books The noble and the brave they condemned It wasn't hard for them to villify the truth When they stood on the winning end Chorus: He's just an old man, he fought under command No one could realize the hell he's been through Stripped of his pension, robbed of his land Accused of crimes that he didn't do He fought with honor, he fought with valor Never questioned orders his commanders gave Now his kind is shunned and he doesn't understand Why his beloved land has turned its back on the brave He's haunted by images of hell He faced so many years ago Dreaming the images of his fallen comrades In graves so far away from home He sits in his room, keeps wondering why No one shows them any respect When so much sacrifice was paid in blood How could anyone forget? (Repeat Sub-Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) Now time is running out His generation is coming to an end He wants to leave his mark on society Any way that he can He feels no guilt, he feels no shame He just wants his voice to be heard To tell the truth about the past He wants to tell the world (Repeat Sub-Chorus) (Repeat Chorus)
