about

About the aftermath of war.

lyrics

If they knew what we went through
They wouldn't believe their ears.
We keep it all to ourselves now
Hidden among the years

Those were the worst of times
The very worst of crimes

We hid ourselves when the strangers came
And closed our ears to the fearful cries
If we went back would we do the same
I guess it's strong the will to survive

And if we shed no tears
It's not as though we don't want to cry
And if we've lost faith
It's not as though we don't want to die.
