Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell the stories, all
Living in the days of the fallen
A voice that once spoke of strength and hope
Nothing's addict of the hopeless
You cannot break
This love with hate
Your choice is made
So go your way
A tribute to the fallen
With the new dawn we rise
And with new strength
No we just begun
To fight this war with you
You cannot break
This love with hate
A tribute to the fallen
Your choice is made
So go your way
A tribute to the fallen
Walk the path you've chosen
Our faith remains unbroken
Even if we die tonight
This is an endless fight
Our spirits will not fall
In the hearts of those we leave behind
Broken bones and a will of stone
In the end we will not stand alone
You cannot break
This love with hate
A tribute to the fallen
Your choice is made
So go your way
A tribute to the fallen
