Prisoners of Ignorance

Never living never die
just dissipate in the sky
another day in a life of lies
in a constant remorse
just taken a life by force

beaten down into the ground
rising up from a hellish rain
fearing not what is to sound
the enemy looks as though we are friendly
as we look and listen so intently

we FOUGHT we SERVED
we TAUGHT we LEARNED
we came to preserve what we thought we earned
freedom overused so faintly
can you see why we thought we were so free?

seeing you come across the way
looking at me I'm so afraid
I feel so locked up in a cage
MY HEART IS POUNDING
THOSE SHOTS ARE SOUNDING

we FOUGHT we SERVED
we TAUGHT we LEARNED
we came to preserve what we thought we earned
freedom overused so faintly
can you see why we thought we were so free?
