Battle after the war 3

Lyrics

Verse 1] They marched through the fire, through smoke and despair In lands far away, they were young men out there With steel in their hands and fear in their hearts They stood side by side, they were torn apart [Verse 2] The night held no silence, just thunder and flame Each face had a story, each soul bore a name Some fell where they stood, no time for goodbyes They carried their memories home in their eyes [Chorus] But the battle ain't over, not when the guns cease to roar There's a silence more cruel than the chaos before They came back as strangers to the lives they once knew Now the hardest fight’s living, with the ghosts they walk through [Verse 3] We gave them a welcome, but they didn’t feel whole The war left its mark deep down in the soul They smile for the cameras, they play their part But the night still comes tearing the world apart [Bridge] They don’t speak of the dreams that won’t let them sleep Of brothers they lost and the promises they keep They fight in the dark where no medals are won Trying to find peace when the war isn't done [Chorus – repeat] No, the battle ain't over, not when the guns cease to roar There’s a silence more cruel than the chaos before They came back as strangers to the lives they once knew Now the hardest fight’s living, with the ghosts they walk through [Outro] So raise a glass, and remember the cost The ones who came home, and the ones they have lost For courage is quiet, and peace is a scar In the battle after the war — that’s where they are.
