For the Fallen - Essence

Sitting all alone by the door in 1945

Waiting for her children to return

It’s been so long now

So many winters have passed

Without the slightes sign of life

Calling from the front

Calling in — Calling out

Calling from the fronr

Calling home

My letter was not sent

And I dont dare to even hope

When all is gone then nothing’s left

The pressure’s on — it’s so intense

Germany to France and from Paris to Berlin

From the sores of Normandy we brought the war

It followed us close and we always brought 'em hell

No matter what they did we always endured it

Lock it up — suck it up

Don’t ever go to war with us

We’re bringing all the power in the world

And we don’t take no shit

So you better think twice before you roll the dice

'Cause the snake eyes is craving your lives

Remember what I did for you

Remember what you didn’t do for me

Every now and then

This feeling inside

Open up the wounds

And let it out

Every now and then

I get lost in time

Forget myself — hope

To take back my life

I count the hours passing by

1 year at the front

2 years at the front

3 years coming up — at the front

I only serve the front

And I don’t care what others say

'Cause they don’t know a fucking thing

Of what it’s like to fight for your life

With a cross in my hand

And with hope in my heart

I maintain a strong belief

That this willl change the world

And if not at least I tried

Now I know That

United we fight and divided we fall

Remember what I did for you

Remember what you didn’t do for me

Every now and then

This feeling inside

Open up the wounds

And let it out

Every now and then

I get lost in time

Forget myself — hope

To take back my life

All I get is hate from all sides

The only thing I did

Was to win your fight

In honor there is hope

But this hope is not for me

You ripped me from pride

And stripped me from my life

Hell

You should try what it’s like

To be in hell

You should try what it’s like

To burn in hell

At last I found my way back home

In 1946 I returned to the door

Where my journey began with a step outside

But the door was locked and on it was a sign

No one is alive — I can’t believe she died

Every now and then

This feeling inside

Open up the wounds

And let it out

Every now and then

I get lost in time

Forget myself — hope

To take back my life

Every now and then

When the rain is pouring down

It hurts my bones and

I wish you were here

Every now and then

I need you near

To remind myself

I lived my life without hate
