"Memorial" lyrics

"Memorial"

Stand up straight for the idols' anthem
Raise our flag and don't dare to run away
Fight like warriors become the reaper
Killing to keep them in line

When your life is a device to harvest concern
Don't you tremble
Death will only take a minute

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

Bite your tongue and obey your leader
Troubled paragon swallowed by earth

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

... Memories control your worn soul

Memories hurt us all still we'll never surrender
The bottle becomes your home and the gun is all you can hear
And if you pretend to save us from our intentions
The scars will remind that pain is a passage we'll have to cross

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie
