Forge - Days of Destruction lyrics

Some had no choice but to fight

Our lives were over

The moment we saw our number on the screen

While others signed their lives away

For their fathers and their country

And fear of how they would be seen

So gather all your strength

Summon up the blood

Now we will find out

What we're really made of

Right now

Took us apart piece by piece

Put us back together

With cold steel in our hands and in our hearts

Dropped us down in a pit of hell

A million shades of green

And on all sides the killing starts

[chorus]

IN THESE DAYS OF DESTRUCTION

WE ALL BECOME THE MONSTERS

THAT WE FEARED IN CHILDHOOD DREAMS

IN THESE DAYS OF DESTRUCTION

THE FIRST LESSON WE LEARN

IS THAT NO ONE'S HANDS ARE CLEAN

And the letters you wrote

I had to burn them all

The boy you knew

Couldn't read them at all

I lost him along the line

Between here and there

I've searched all over

And can't find him anywhere

We can't be blamed for what we've done

Politics and morals

As foreign now as any luxury

And what's left can never come home

Forever searching

To find our lost humanity

[chorus]
