Hey brother
How are you
You don’t know me
I don’t know you
We met each other
In a previous life
Fought a war together
Tried to right the wrong
You died in my arms
Under crimson sky
Tell her you love her
It’s your time to die
When the sirens stop
The shells are on the ground
The flag is folded in
The last post trumpets sound
History will not fade
How the world is saved
They teach us to forget
Teach you not to feel
Cut you down to build you up
Into a death machine
The eagles in the marble halls
Protection from the sun
Decide who stands and falls
They’ve never used a gun
