BONANDER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Martha, I'm sorry for all the tears and blood shed in vain, shed in vain
shed in vain, shed in vain
Martha, I'm sorry for the shame you feel fighting
Martha, I'm sorry for the hate you meet
trying
it's not in vain, can't be in vain
The world is closing in
Leaving its mothers cold
for some long forsaken honor
for some godforgotten goner
Wo-oh
The world is closing in
Leaving its mothers cold
for some godforsaken honor
for some godforgotten goner
Martha, it doesn't get better
Martha, the monsters are greater than ever
none to gain, it's none to gain
none to gain, it's none to gain
Martha, I wish I could fight like you
Martha, I wish I could dream like you
We're all the same, we're all the same
We're all the same
The men are charging in,
leaving their mothers cold
for some godforsaken honor,
for some godforsaken goner
The men are charging in,
with proud heart body and soul
for some godforsaken honor,
for some godforgotten goner
Martha I wonder,
how can I face these men
their uniforms and guns
these army dreamers
army dreamers
army dreamers
army dreamers
