How long has it been since I lost the dream How long has it been since I felt in me The drive To rise above the rest, the will to be the best When did it become okay to be no one At what point in life did I just give up Satisfied just to survive in the ruins I was born to die It seems like only yesterday we were young and strong Nothing stood in the way Of the path to glory We lost so much to tread We lost the shore which only lead To the promised land We only dreamt I know we'd have made it if we only kept on going Patience and regret Still I curse the world I fight against But the war is long over and the battle is lost No longer do we count the bullets we shot The war paint fades from our face when the dream is dead Still I carry the flag though no one's left To carry me on Sing me this song Carry the dream After I'm gone Carry me on Sing me this song Carry the dream Long after I'm gone When my will had died and all the dreams of mine I left behind were thrown aside I rea! lized I was born for war Born if only to be something more Than my heart and my mind combined Fueled by my hate, my anger, my pride I rise from the wound where my heart was torn I peel the skin back to be reborn I need no one else to stand alone I cry for war though only I showed To bare the flag through loss and victory There's no I in team, but there is an M and an E You threw in the towel with an idol hand Only the white flag flies where you stand Together we stood, divided only you fell But the war
