Forgotten Youth
We are the forgotten youth
Our forests burned
Our oceans warm
We drink from the water hole
Polluted with filth of day before
We are the forgotten youth
We live our days in the shadows of the past
Our villages are built upon the remains of a civilization that once was
We were lost.
But we rebuild.
We are the forgotten youth
Fed false truths for years
And we believed without question
We are the forgotten youth
Our mouths bitter with the taste of betrayal
We were naive, not anymore
But now it's too late
We are the forgotten youth
The sun rises on our backs
We prepare for another day in hell.
Silently.
