There's something missing 
This apparition where the light once shined 
I know it's hollow 
I guess we all know when it's time 

With no emotion 
A slow explosion with a flash of light 
But I, I won't close my eyes 

And we, are blinded by it all 
And we, are waiting for the faded war to fall 

There's no surrender 
The last defenders walked away and died 
Is this attrition? 
Or just submission to the tide 

These final moments 
Our last opponents are upon us now 
And I, can only see your face 

[Chorus] 

And we won't stay 
And we won't go 
There is no road to follow 

In the cold snow 
In our wet clothes 
We wave the white flag high 
But I'm hearing no reply
