We were once happy

We were once happy

A laugh came from us

We thought these times would never end

Destroy, time surely does…

Gone are the times we sat and played

Gone are the smiles gracing our faces

Gone is our innocence and youth

Locked in this merciless place

Shattered are our memories

Cracked like our hearts, down the middle

The salty tears catches our eyes

Lives caught in this timeless riddle

Can't move without stepping in shadow

Can't breathe without sucking in death and decay

Can't hold onto our friend fading…

Into the dawn of another day

Our vision is blurred by the darkness

Only hearing deceive and lies

Can't speak without giving secrets,

To the ears of many spies…

We were once young and free

Thinking these times would never end

We knew not of the darkness approaching

Or the war just beyond the bend…

We were once strong and fierce

Thinking there was naught in our way

No one told us what would happen,

Once time came and had its say

Our short childhood was lost in the dark days of last week

We were forced to grow so quickly,

Though answers we still seek…

We wondered why we hurt inside

We wondered why this war was breaking

We wondered why we were so scared

Our fears exposed for the taking

Our questions wavered in the air

Answers hid, kept at bay…

We wanted to know what was happening,

Who else had gone away

Time went and still we sat in the darkness thinking

About the times that were rising and the light slowly sinking

We were once happy,

A long, long time ago…

No smile curls at our lips now

Only pain and endless sorrow…

We were once happy

Laughter, such a distant sound

We haven't laughed in a long time

Since our dreams were roped and bound

We were once happy,

Young, smiling and together…

The sun once shined upon our faces,

The storm and rain, now it's the weather

We were once happy, no more are we now

Not with death surrounding closely

And dark in a deadly bow…

We were once happy, forever the three of us..

Not once did we think we would be broken, destroyed

Time surely does..

We were once happy…

We were once happy

We were once happy

A laugh came from us

We thought these times would never end

Destroy, time surely does…

Gone are the times we sat and played

Gone are the smiles gracing our faces

Gone is our innocence and youth

Locked in this merciless place

Shattered are our memories

Cracked like our hearts, down the middle

The salty tears catches our eyes

Lives caught in this timeless riddle

Can't move without stepping in shadow

Can't breathe without sucking in death and decay

Can't hold onto our friend fading…
