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)
