Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a cobra they will strike
And like lions caged we'll fight
We were taken—not by choice
They put anger in our voice
[Verse 2]
We were fearless but so afraid
Though in our hearts we still felt pain
We're on fire—but on a leash
We only ever wanted peace
[Verse 3]
Never the heroes
We were made to fight
Never the heroes
We were just sacrificed at war
[Verse 4]
Like a demon leads the youth
We are terrible in truth
No time to falter—no turning back
When we come under attack
[Verse 5]
There is no question, as with a friend
We have our honor to defend
We're on fire—but on a leash
We only ever wanted peace
[Verse 6]
Never the heroes
We were made to fight
Never the heroes
We were just sacrificed at war
At war
[Verse 7]
We are together till the end
We have our honour to defend
[Verse 8]
Never the heroes
We were made to fight
Never the heroes
We were just sacrificed
[Verse 9]
Never the heroes
(We were never the heroes)
We were made to fight
(We were made to fight)
Never the heroes
We were sacrificed at war
