The Fateful Hour - September 4th Lyrics

Outside this place is a home
And it seems so far away
Though I wish to return
A part of me wants to stay
Forging a war torn path
Hidden away from the light of day

We've gone too far to disappear
From the hearts of our home
My final breath is almost near
We must keep pushing on
I cannot die
A gripping, crushing fear
I will not die
Is tearing me apart

Will anyone see what we've done
Does it really even matter
I hope we make it out alive

I cannot die
The clarity of my mind
I will not die
Separates me from my heart

Singeing the last shred of innocence
I thought would still remain
An essence of our mortality
Left behind on this campaign
Within our hearts has a place
The dogs of war reside

I cannot die
Within our hearts
I will not die
The will to survive

Death comes in a brilliant flash
The volley explodes to my right
Tearing flesh through to bones
On this September night

Charred flesh, mangled limbs
The cries of broken men
Inside our hearts
A frozen place
Inside our hearts
The dogs of war reside
Inside our hearts, the dogs of war
