F#m
This inferno turned me blind
There was fire and smoke all around
D
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
C# F#m
In this unholy ground
F#m
Now the future is no more
We're all lost to this vicious whore

Only one of us came home

F#m E
I sit here on my porch
A
As an old and lonely man

Sometimes I recall

When terror struck the land

Was it right to go to arms

To defend the freedom rights

I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
