When the skies turned black and gray Our last stand on this field The echoes of those cries Are burned into my soul No one left to blame As we count the fallen In the last war In the last war In the last war In the last war We were young and lost in dreams Now we\'re wise but bruised The flags turned to dust But memories never fade We fought for what we believed Now we\'re shadows in the mist In the last war In the last war In the last war In the last war Standing here, scars laid bare The silence of the past One last sigh, one last stare A battle meant to last In the last war In the last war In the last war In the last war
