I can't forget what seemed like yesterday
the memories of war they just won't fade

see through their lies

the years i was there
it seems so far away
everyone tried to ignore it
saying it'll go away
it never went away
no matter how much

we pretend
the lives that were lost
the wounds will never mend

see through their lies

the living envyig the dead, many
will never know
it's hard to believe in a cheap thing called hope
slept under mosquito nets, we used kerosene lamps
i remember the discomfort, the air was so damp

see through their lies

at times i couldn't even breathe 'cause the nights were so hot
i remember scratching my arms til they almost bled
they kept telling me war never hurt anyone
it's all part of life
you got to take it if you want to be strong

see through their lies

they were only lying to themselves 'cause the war is still goin on
and my heart sank for last that's gone
