Essence - For the Fallen lyrics

Sitting all alone by the door in 1945 Waiting for her children to return It's been so long now So many winters have pa**ed Without the slightes sign of life Calling from the front Calling in - Calling out Calling from the fronr Calling home My letter was not sent And I dont dare to even hope When all is gone then nothing's left The pressure's on - it's so intense Germany to France and from Paris to Berlin From the sores of Normandy we brought the war It followed us close and we always brought 'em hell No matter what they did we always endured it Lock it up - s** it up Don't ever go to war with us We're bringing all the power in the world And we don't take no sh** So you better think twice before you roll the dice 'Cause the snake eyes is craving your lives Remember what I did for you Remember what you didn't do for me Every now and then This feeling inside Open up the wounds And let it out Every now and then I get lost in time Forget myself - hope To take back my life I count the hours pa**ing by 1 year at the front 2 years at the front 3 years coming up - at the front I only serve the front And I don't care what others say 'Cause they don't know a f**ing thing Of what it's like to fight for your life With a cross in my hand And with hope in my heart I maintain a strong belief That this willl change the world And if not at least I tried Now I know That United we fight and divided we fall Remember what I did for you Remember what you didn't do for me Every now and then This feeling inside Open up the wounds And let it out Every now and then I get lost in time Forget myself - hope To take back my life All I get is hate from all sides The only thing I did Was to win your fight In honor there is hope But this hope is not for me You ripped me from pride And stripped me from my life Hell You should try what it's like To be in hell You should try what it's like To burn in hell At last I found my way back home In 1946 I returned to the door Where my journey began with a step outside But the door was locked and on it was a sign No one is alive - I can't believe she died Every now and then This feeling inside Open up the wounds And let it out Every now and then I get lost in time Forget myself - hope To take back my life Every now and then When the rain is pouring down It hurts my bones and I wish you were here Every now and then I need you near To remind myself I lived my life without hate
