Those Who Won't Come Home

[Intro] [Verse 1] In the fields where the silence screams, Soldiers march in endless dreams, Sent by men who never fight, Chasing shadows in the night. With heavy hearts and weary souls, To the battlegrounds they go, Leaving families behind, In the name of hollow lies. [Chorus] They are the ones who won't come home, Fallen for reasons they'll never know, Brothers, fathers, friends now gone, In a war that should never have been fought. [Verse 2] Mothers' tears and children's cries, Echo through the darkened skies, As empty coffins find their way, To broken hearts that mourn each day. Politicians, safe and sound, Far from where the shots resound, Play their games of power and greed, While soldiers fall and loved ones bleed. [Chorus] They are the ones who won't come home, Fallen for reasons they'll never know, Brothers, fathers, friends now gone, In a war that should never have been fought. [Bridge] And somewhere in a foreign land, Another soldier makes his stand, Fighting for a cause unknown, A family waits for him at home. [Soaring guitar solo] [Chorus] They are the ones who won't come home, Fallen for reasons they'll never know, Brothers, fathers, friends now gone, In a war that should never have been fought. [Break] [Outro] So remember those who gave their all, Not for glory, but because they were called, May their spirits find some peace, In a world where wars might cease. [Big Finish] And somewhere in a foreign land, Enemy soldier makes his stand, Fighting for a cause unknown, A family waits for him at home. [End]
