Forge - Parade Of The Forgotten lyrics

The old man stared at me A worn look in his eyes He'd seen and done it all before He said "There's nothing new In what you're going through Another day another war The world is meant to change But people never do They always forget yesterday They'll never know the price The men who sacrificed To get us where we are today [chorus] AND NOW I'M MARCHING IN THE PARADE OF THE FORGOTTEN OUR FACES OUR STORIES HAVE MELDED INTO ONE And when you see me now You see me broken down My stories fall on thankless ears Existing day to day Slowly wasting away Wandering through my final years When I was young it seemed I could do anything I fought beside the finest men I saw so many die While luck kept me alive I often wish I'd gone with them" [chorus] Before I grow old I would end it all Better to die young Than live too long AND NOW I'M MARCHING IN THE PARADE OF THE FORGOTTEN OUR BANNERS OUR GLORIES HAVE FADED IN THE SUN
