Faded War

There's something missing
This apparition where the light once shined
I know it's hollow
I guess we all know when it's time

With no emotion
A slow explosion with a flash of light
But I, I won't close my eyes

And we are blinded by it all
And we are waiting for the faded war to fall

There's no surrender
Our last defenders walked away and died
Is this attrition?
Or just submission to the tide

These final moments
Our last opponents are upon us now
But I can only see your face

And we are blinded by it all
And we are waiting for the faded war to fall

And we won't stay
And we won't go
There is no road to follow

In the cold snow
In our wet clothes
We wave the white flag high
But I'm hearing no reply

And we are blinded by it all
And we are waiting for the faded war to fall
The faded war to fall
