Alone Lyrics - Singles - Bound For Glory

Man of the past, a veteran survivor 

Now old and feeling out of place 

His hands are frail, his body scarred 

Wrinkles cover his face 

He gave his body, he gave his soul 

For his land, his family, his home 

He lost it all and not many seem to care 

That he faces the world all alone 

Sub-Chorus: 

His body is old, tired, and worn 

His old wounds are starting to ail 

The once strong and mighty soldier 

Feels his life is slipping away 

The winners of the war wrote the history books 

The noble and the brave they condemned 

It wasn't hard for them to villify the truth 

When they stood on the winning end 

Chorus: 

He's just an old man, he fought under command 

No one could realize the hell he's been through 

Stripped of his pension, robbed of his land 

Accused of crimes that he didn't do 

He fought with honor, he fought with valor 

Never questioned orders his commanders gave 

Now his kind is shunned and he doesn't understand 

Why his beloved land has turned its back on the brave 

He's haunted by images of hell 

He faced so many years ago 

Dreaming the images of his fallen comrades 

In graves so far away from home 

He sits in his room, keeps wondering why 

No one shows them any respect 

When so much sacrifice was paid in blood 

How could anyone forget? 

(Repeat Sub-Chorus) 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Now time is running out 

His generation is coming to an end 

He wants to leave his mark on society 

Any way that he can 

He feels no guilt, he feels no shame 

He just wants his voice to be heard 

To tell the truth about the past 

He wants to tell the world 

(Repeat Sub-Chorus) 

(Repeat Chorus)
