Field Of Shattered Dreams - House Of Lords

He woke up in the middle of the night

He could hear the echoes of the fight

He would always check his scope

Before he’d load his magazine

He tried to fight the fire in his head

And fought to keep the focus sharp instead

He never knew he’d ever be

A hero at nineteen

It’s time to go (inside he knows)

He’s on his own (so all alone)

No compromise (none in his eyes)

No questions why, never say die

On the field of shattered dreams

They rise to pull themselves together

In this land of liberty

They wear their Purple Hearts forever

He wet his face to wash the fear away

He said a prayer behind the barricade

He looked out on the desert

As they rolled on down the road

There wasn’t any warning or retreat

When twenty-seven vanished in the heat

They never knew that they were going down

Not going home

No compromise (none in his eyes)

No questions why, never say die

On the field of shattered dreams

They rise to pull themselves together

In this land of liberty

They wear their Purple Hearts forever

No compromise (none in his eyes)

No questions why, never say die

On the field of shattered dreams

They rise to pull themselves together

In this land of liberty

They wear their Purple Hearts forever

On the field of shattered dreams

They rise to pull themselves together

In this land of liberty

They wear their Purple Hearts forever
