Essence lyrics : "FOR THE FALLEN"

Sitting all alone by the door in 1945
Waiting for her children to return
It's been so long now

So many winters have passed
Without the slightest sign of life


Calling from the front
Calling in -- calling out
Calling from front

Calling home
My letter was not sent
And I don't dare to even hope

When all is gone then nothing's left
The pressure's on -- it's so intense



Germany to France and from Paris to Berlin
From the shores of Normandy we brought the war

It followed us close and we always brought 'em hell
No matter what they did we always endured it


Lock it up -- suck it up
Don't ever go to war with us
We're bringing all the power in the world

And we don't take no %#@!
So you better think twice before you roll the dice
'Cause the snake eyes is craving your lives


Remember what I did for you
Remember what you didn't do for me


Every now and then
This feeling inside

Open up the wounds
And let it out


Every now and then
I get lost in time
Forget myself - hope

To take back my life

I count the hours passing by


1 year at the front
2 years at the front

3 years coming up -- at the front
I only serve the front
And I don't care what others say

'Cause they don't know a $#&@ing thing
Of what it's like to fight for your life


With a cross in my hand
And with hope in my heart
I maintain a strong belief

That this will change the world
And if not at least I tried
Now I know that

United we fight and divided we fall

Remember what I did for you

Remember what you didn't do for me

*Chorus*


All I get is hate from all sides
The only thing I did

Was to win your fight
In honor there is hope
But this hope is not for me

You ripped me from my pride
And stripped me of my life
Hell - you should try what it's like

To burn in Hell
You should try what it's like
To burn in Hell


At last I found my way back home
In 1946 I returned to the door
Where my journey began with a step outside
But the door was locked and on it was a sign


No one is alive -- I can't believe she died

*Chorus*


Every now and then
When the rain is poring down
It hurts my bones and I
Wish you where here


Every now and then
I need you near
To remind myself
I lived my life without hate
