Night sweat without slumber
We chased after our goals walking *****
Roads were dirt
Roads were muddy
Still I remember
We vowed to change the world
We broke our vows walking too tall
Laughing away the pain in black and white images
Nobody knew
Wives had no business
They stayed home
They knew nothing of the outside
Our pain was hidden from them
We were taught to be strong
Substitute our tears with smiles
We've lived through this
Seeing another day break in half
We build on top of historical grounds
Seeking immortality
Death was staring us in our face daily
We wanted to shape the future for those who will walk through life
Some lost their minds knowing death
Our strength was forgotten
Our souls were sold into shaping the future that we wouldn’t see
So many mistakes
So many memories collected
Nobody knew
We died offering everything to get nowhere
night sweats were adding up
102 years ago
I still remember
I could never forget
Though we've died
I've came back
I see our strength was wasted
Nobody knows hard work
Everything is too easy
Everything comes without effort
Take me back to 1915
