Why?

In life they burned brightly.

in darkness they'll rest,

They left us knowing they did their best.

But they also knew that we wouldn't be next,

And that is what let them be able to rest.

Why?

Can you tell me why?

Why must they march?

Why must they die?

Why?

That war has ended, a new one has begun.

The ones who survived have all gone home

They know that War only ends with the dead,

it burns on evermore

for those left behind....

So now they sacrifice

themselves once more

They wanted to lessen our burden,

They wanted an end to their suffering in hell

But they wanted to make sure that no one else

Had to go through war...

So why?

Why must they march?

Till they all die?

Their debt was long paid off, and ours they paid too...

They took our mistakes and cleaned them anew,

Our new debt they now shoulder, our new mistakes and fears...

They faced the worst nightmare we've had in years.

The soldiers marched.

Marched to their death.

And now who is left?

The soldiers all died, no one is left.

It's all up to us now, but I....

I am afraid...

I don't want

To die....

So, why?
