BAND PERRY lyrics : "Independence"

Lead: Carroll

Encircled, cut off from reinforcement

At all costs you must hold the line
Living among the slain with the knowledge
You could join them at any time


The enemy advances without number
Signaled by a creeping barrage

The attack goes on for weeks and weeks
The trenches awash with blood


Gunning down the enemy
Each one without a face
What once were fields of green

Are now endless fields of graves

Forgotten

Forgotten
FORGOTTEN DEAD


MARCH!

Lead: Carroll

Lead: Laux

Your comrade rises up to fire

You watch in horror as he falls
The life drained away from his body
Through the hole in his skull


Gunning down the enemy
Send them to their graves

The ways of man will never change
The fallen die in vain


Forgotten
Forgotten
DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!


The whistle blows, you are forced to advance
into oncoming machine gun fire

Caught in the blast as the mines detonate
lifeless bodies hang from barbed wire
Stabbed through the gut by a bayonet, blood

chokes your scream
Another dying sould is laid upon the altar of
mankind's greed


Forgotten
DEAD!
