The Forgotten Sacrifice

Screams of war Relentless night Soldiers fall Forgotten fight Blood-soaked earth History torn 117 466 Battle-born Lambs to the slaughter Wasted breath Heroes fade in the shadow of death Flags wave Lies untold Governments shift Stories sold Died for nothing Truth denied Armistice fades Memories die Veteran's Day Silence screams Betrayed souls Shattered dreams Trenches deep Men laid bare Sacrifice mocked No one cares Shell-shocked minds Agony's toll Empty promises Hollow goals Propaganda Filthy lies Dead heroes Endless cries Obscured truth Nation's guilt Monuments of shame we built Old wounds bleed The past won't heal Bones and ashes Humanity's deal Unseen horrors Buried pain Forgotten faces Endless rain
