SOLDIERS WALKING THRU THE NIGHT
DISTANT SHOTS, THEY HEAR THE FIGHT
SOME ARE BOYS, SOME ARE MEN
SOME WILL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN

FRIENDLIES FLYING OVERHEAD
LAYING DOWN A WALL OF LEAD
CANNONS TEARING UP THE GROUND
SLICING THROUGH THE BATTLE SOUNDS

CHORUS:
THIS IS WAR, AND THESE ARE LIVES
LIVIN DAY TO DAY, ONE DAY AT A TIME
WE WILL NOT FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE
WE WILL NOT FORGET THESE ARE LIVES

THE RADIO CRACKS AND CRIES
A CALL FOR FIRE LIGHTS THE SKY
THE SEPTIC SMELL OF STEEL AND DEATH
PENETRATES THE SERGEANT’S BREATH

THE MEDIC CRIES AND SCREAMS OUT LOUD
SHE POUNDS HIS FISTS INTO THE GROUND
ANOTHER TAG BENEATH THE TONGUE
ANOTHER WAR THAT’S NEVER WON

CHORUS
THIS IS WAR, AND THESE ARE LIVES
A MILLION MILES AWAY, JUST TRYIN TO SURVIVE
WE WILL NOT FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE
WE WILL NOT FORGET THESE ARE LIVES

STACCATO KNOCK UPON THE DOOR
A BABY’S SPOON HITS THE FLOOR
A MEDALLED CHEST TO EASE THE PAIN
FROM BURNING WORDS THAT CAN’T EXPLAIN

INSTANTLY, HER WORLD GOES BLACK
SHE NEVER THOUGHT HE WON’T COME BACK
ANOTHER CHILD THAT’S NEVER KNOWN
ANOTHER ANGEL COMING HOME

FINAL CHORUS
THIS IS WAR, AND THESE ARE LIVES
SONS AND DAUGHTERS, HUSBANDS AND WIVES
WE WILL NOT FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE
WE WILL NOT FORGET THESE ARE LIVES

THIS IS WAR, AND THESE ARE LIVES
BACK AT HOME, AND ON THE FRONT OF THE LINE
WE WILL NOT FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE
WE WILL NOT FORGET THESE ARE LIVES
