Lyrics

The once valiant recruit
now another story
an example for the new
to be fed with tales of glory.
Acts of loyalty
now recalled as treason
lying stripped of dignity
a sacrifice made for no reason.

You're so damn good at what you already know
that you've out-grown the ability to grow.
For all the things that you claim to know
you'd think that the experience would start to show.

Your comrades fell by your own hand
a loss you'll never understand.

Tonight you tuck them in
tomorrow close their eyes
and it will all begin again
noone dares to wonder why.

You're so damn good at what you already know,
that you've out-grown the ability to grow.
For all the things that you claim to know
you'd think that the experience would start to show.

Your comrades fell by your own hand
they lie unseen from where you stand
Your comrades fell by your own hand
behind a boy dressed as a man

This cycle will not end
feeding off your pride
as long as you condemn
those fighting by your side.
Keep searching for new blood
a new face for the blame
but when their time is up
the cause is still the same.
