Bound For Glory - Alone Lyrics
Man of the past, a veteran survivorNow old and feeling out of placeHis hands are frail, his body scarredWrinkles cover his faceHe gave his body, he gave his soulFor his land, his family, his homeHe lost it all and not many seem to careThat he faces the world all aloneSub-Chorus:His body is old, tired, and wornHis old wounds are starting to ailThe once strong and mighty soldierFeels his life is slipping awayThe winners of the war wrote the history booksThe noble and the brave they condemnedIt wasn't hard for them to villify the truthWhen they stood on the winning endChorus:He's just an old man, he fought under commandNo one could realize the hell he's been throughStripped of his pension, robbed of his landAccused of crimes that he didn't doHe fought with honor, he fought with valorNever questioned orders his commanders gaveNow his kind is shunned and he doesn't understandWhy his beloved land has turned its back on the braveHe's haunted by images of hellHe faced so many years agoDreaming the images of his fallen comradesIn graves so far away from homeHe sits in his room, keeps wondering whyNo one shows them any respectWhen so much sacrifice was paid in bloodHow could anyone forget?(Repeat Sub-Chorus)(Repeat Chorus)Now time is running outHis generation is coming to an endHe wants to leave his mark on societyAny way that he canHe feels no guilt, he feels no shameHe just wants his voice to be heardTo tell the truth about the pastHe wants to tell the world(Repeat Sub-Chorus)(Repeat Chorus)
