An Empty Life

This country is empty 
It is long gone 
For the days of adventure 
And truth 
Lie written in our history books 
Soon to be burned and forgotten

And the days our grandparents 
Yearn to get back 
Will never come back 
And we'll be stuck here 
Forgotten 
In a country so divided 
We destroyed ourselves

    Dear Mr. Hero 
    Have you won the last war? 
    Oh Mr. Hero 
    Have you caught him before?

    He isn’t a sinner 
    But he’ll contemplate 
    Doing something a good man 
    Won’t do
    How about you?
