lost in the past

all I've ever wanted to know is one thing
what is my purpose for being in this world
yet i feel like i have a fate that i cant change
and i have a life that i am forced to live
how can i have a purpose when i'm just one person
how can my purpose exist when all i do is follow orders
how can i be my own person when i don't know who i am
it feel like i was born in the wrong time and place
like history was my real home and the present is gone
so many like me exist inj this world
those who want to remember how it used to be
we refuse to be forced into modernization
back when things were fought in a real battleground
instead of a toxic wasteland
when honor was in every man
instead of them being cowards
id rather die with a sword in my hand
then live and breath this radiation
we may have advanced as a species
but we lost what made us truly superior
