Out to dry

When the world needed people, they stood up and sacrificed their lives, whether it was physically in the field or psychologically, most never come back. Back in 1914 They heard the World put out a call They never heard them Cry, complain their actions saved us all They faced the many horrors young men so far from home And welcomed back like heroes for the dreams that they now own And they were hoping for a miracle But there was nothing but a smimmering light Just a flash grenade and the enemy face And the screams in the dead of the night They were left out to dry Back in 1939 when the call went out again They said lets take the challenge and we'll fight them til the end The scars and Screaming nightmares All saddled up to come But they dont tell you that bit when they first hand you the gun So now I ask my Grandpa, should we go to the parade And with a Tearful eye he looks at me and says look what I've made My parade is when I look at you and know that you're alive The war, it never ends you only pick where to survive And we were all hoping for a miracle But there was nothing but a smimmering light Just a flash grenade and the enemy face And the screams in the dead of the night I look at Social media and Angles on the Truth I see the stories they're telling me are simply not the truth No welcomes for our soldiers as they come home through the gates And treated like bad criminals, only Shown the guilt and hate And veterans that are homeless in these countries of the world My Grandfather Gave his life for a voice that should be heard I can't imagine how he feels to see what a disgrace where his legacys been shrouded by a failing Human race And we were all hoping for a miracle But there was nothing but a smimmering light Just a flash grenade and the enemy face And the screams in the dead of the night And we were all hoping for a miracle But there was nothing but a smimmering light Just a flash grenade and the enemy face And the screams in the dead of the night repeat last 2 choruses
