Those Left Behind

So burdened my heart, it was my choice
One final decision in this land of desolation
Here at this place, nothing but despair remains
And nothing but defeat arises

Just go and don't look back, only too well you know
This pain will grow and last within you, now and forever
Doomed and condemned
You will have to think of us until your last breath
This fearless dream in due course became a callous act of treason

Through haunted days and sleepless nights, ever restless
Yes, you shall carry all the guilt
Another generation broken by your promises
The hope and confidence you raised

And now just go and don't look back, only too well you know
Regret will grow and last within you, now and forever
Forsaken and belied
You will have to think of us until your last breath
This fearless dream in due course became a callous act
A callous act of treason

A daring vision
Devoid of all reason
At least you gave me something
A silver lining on the horizon
Something to believe in
I was willing to sacrifice, but there is no future
You gave me something
That is worth to die for, we just die for nothing
To believe in
We cannot even fight for something anymore

And now just go and don't look back, only too well you know
This shame will grow and last within you, now and forever
Betrayed and subdued
You will have to think of us until your last breath
This fearless dream in due course became a callous act
A callous act of treason
