For the Fallen

The Fallen, give us their lives,
They give everything,
So that we might know peace
But, we dismiss them with ease,
Tell me, what would you do,
If you were one of these?
The Fallen...

The Fallen, they are everything,
That we should want to be
They give up their dreams,
They trade them for the screams,
Of people we will never know
And it goes to show,
Their faith is deeper,
Than you thought it would go...
Yes, the Fallen...

For the Fallen, I raise my hand,
I raise my voice up to the wind
I will hold them high above me,
And honor their memories
For the rest of my life,
I will pray for those left behind,
And for the Fallen...

The Fallen, they did not want to die,
And no, none of them asked "Why?"
Before they gave up their lives
But, we dismiss them with ease,
While their families are on their knees
Tell me, what would you do,
If you were one of these?
The Fallen...

The Fallen don't know,
Just what tomorrow brings,
They have to live for today,
In every little way,
Because in a moment it can change,
Their lives can be taken away,
Oh how I wish that I could breathe..
For the Fallen

For the Fallen, I raise my hand,
I raise my voice up to the wind
I will hold them high above me,
And honor their memories
For the rest of my life,
I will pray for those left behind,
And for the Fallen...

So many die, they fall,
The things they do, the things they see,
I've been there, and I know that it changed me
If you knew just how they feel,
You would never again steal...
The faith from the Fallen

For the Fallen, I grieve,
For the Fallen, I bleed,
For the Fallen, I dream,
Now open your eyes and see...
The ghosts of the Fallen

So now I raise my hand,
And my voice up to the wind
I will hold them high above me,
And honor their memories
For the rest of my life,
I will pray for those left behind
And for the Fallen...
