Lyrics

Bilingual
Behind a nation's blind salute
Behind "my country 'tis of thee"
Behind the pain that won't compute
Erase the memory of Shadowland.
ย
An open wound that never heals
A bone that never seems to set
A mind that thinks but never feels
The face we've never met from Shadowland.
ย
They tell us time and time again
They only want a few good men
They lead us through the lion's den
To Shadowland.
ย
The world would just as soon forget
And watch the wreckage drift ashore
Ten years reduced to one regret
The baggage of war from Shadowland.
ย
Don't ask us how our names were lost
Our nation did a sleight of hand
We never saw the line we crossed
That took us into Shadowland.
ย
They tell us time and time again
They only want a few good men
ย
They lead us through the lion's den
To Shadowland.
ย
The son will reap what fathers sow
But mothers have to hear the sound
Of the last breath of the boy next door
Whose life has ended
ย
Shadowland, Shadowland, Shadowland
