Attika - Hollow Grave lyrics

(Longobardi) Can I be redeemed from this life There's no meaning to my end I was left behind to fend for myself And I don't know where I've been I haven't lived to see my dreams My past is an empty shell The world has had its full of me Will I have my chance as well. They've locked me away in a hollow grave And I've lost all hope of ever being saved. They lied to take me from my home Said my victory lied beyond the sea Now lost, forgotten, maybe dead Someone cries for me I had to sacrifice myself I must lose so we can win And I dare not try end my life For I'll only lose again Don't lock me away in a hollow grave Don't shed a tear I can't pretend I'm brave I'm lost inside a world that's not for me And I see no sign of ever being free. I've dreamed the horrors of war I've tasted my blood and gore But now I face the worst I'm dead before my time Though my yes cannot see I hear them burying me I've forgotten how to scream And they've given up on me. I fought a war to stay alive I k**ed my faith in man Now I'm a forgotten pawn Left behind to stand Alone against what has become A farce before my eyes I only wanted to be left alone Now I'm left behind. My family has erased my life To forget about their pain And though I live among the dead I'll never breathe again Myself and all the others must face That our longing inside has died And we've become a nation of ghosts A lost forgotten tribe. The years have past, the days grow long I'm a victim of my own pride I don't know if I could live again My home is now on this side My father in heaven look down and answer Where does my destiny lie? I was never prepared to live this life Now I'm not prepared to die I'm left behind to die in a hollow grave And I know no one will ever speak my name The world goes on as though I've never been And to fade without a fight, a forgotten sin I cannot bear to see my name That no one ever speaks And eyes that never see The forgotten epitaph of my hollow grave.
