"Icon" lyrics

"Icon"

Do we still recall the ones who fought
Into the dawn for us
To bring reason and peace to our lives?

Every piece of freedom has been drawn
Using our heroes blood
Without asking for things in return

Never forget
Who's the enemy
As they try to make amends
Holding our chains
Deciding the fate of us all

They have betrayed
Everyone of us
And we're paying to this day
While they parade
The riches they stole from our land... from our land

We remember when you left our home
Carrying the heavy stone
Of protecting us from the unknown

And we wonder how you faced your fate
If you could feel the sun
And we're still waiting for your return

The battlefield consumed your blood
Still it hungers for more
And monuments of cold white stone
Celebrate our fallen sons

Never forgive
Our enemies
As they try to make amends
Holding our chains
Deciding the fate of us all

Never forget
Who's the enemy
As they try to make amends
Holding our chains
Deciding the fate of us all

They have betrayed
Everyone of us
And we're paying to this day
While they parade
The riches they stole from our land... our soil
