  • Like a cobra they will strike
    And like lions caged we'll fight
    We were taken not by choice
    They put anger in our voice

    We were fearless but so afraid
    Though in our hearts we still felt pain
    We're on fire but on a leash
    We only ever wanted peace

    Never the heroes, we were made to fight
    Never the heroes, we were just sacrificed at war

    Like a demon leads the youth
    We are terrible in truth
    No time to falter, no turning back
    When we come under attack

    There is no question as with a friend
    We have our honor to defend
    We're on fire but on a leash
    We only ever wanted peace

    Never the heroes, we were made to fight
    Never the heroes, we were just sacrificed at war
    At war

    We are together till the end
    We have our honour to defend

    Never the heroes, we were made to fight
    Never the heroes, we were just sacrificed
    Never the heroes (We were never the heroes)
    We were made to fight (We were made to fight)
    Never the heroes, we were sacrificed at war Writer/s: GLENN RAYMOND TIPTON, RICHARD FAULKNER, ROBERT HALFORD
