Bound For Glory Alone Lyrics

Alone Lyrics

Man of the past, a veteran survivor



Now old and feeling out of place



His hands are frail, his body scarred



Wrinkles cover his face



He gave his body, he gave his soul



For his land, his family, his home



He lost it all and not many seem to care



That he faces the world all alone











Sub-Chorus:



His body is old, tired, and worn



His old wounds are starting to ail



The once strong and mighty soldier



Feels his life is slipping away



The winners of the war wrote the history books



The noble and the brave they condemned



It wasn't hard for them to villify the truth



When they stood on the winning end











Chorus:



He's just an old man, he fought under command



No one could realize the hell he's been through



Stripped of his pension, robbed of his land



Accused of crimes that he didn't do



He fought with honor, he fought with valor



Never questioned orders his commanders gave



Now his kind is shunned and he doesn't understand



Why his beloved land has turned its back on the brave











He's haunted by images of hell



He faced so many years ago



Dreaming the images of his fallen comrades



In graves so far away from home



He sits in his room, keeps wondering why



No one shows them any respect



When so much sacrifice was paid in blood



How could anyone forget?











(Repeat Sub-Chorus)











(Repeat Chorus)











Now time is running out



His generation is coming to an end



He wants to leave his mark on society



Any way that he can



He feels no guilt, he feels no shame



He just wants his voice to be heard



To tell the truth about the past



He wants to tell the world











(Repeat Sub-Chorus)











(Repeat Chorus)
