Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Man of the past, a veteran survivorHombre del pasado, un superviviente veterano
Now old and feeling out of placeAhora viejo y sintiéndose fuera de lugar
His hands are frail, his body scarredSus manos son frágiles, su cuerpo marcado
Wrinkles cover his faceArrugas cubren su rostro
He gave his body, he gave his soulÉl dio su cuerpo, dio su alma
For his land, his family, his homePor su tierra, su familia, su hogar
He lost it all and not many seem to careLo perdió todo y a pocos parece importar
That he faces the world all aloneQue él enfrenta al mundo completamente solo
His body is old, tired, and wornSu cuerpo es viejo, cansado y desgastado
His wounds are starting to ailSus heridas comienzan a doler
The once strong and mighty soldierEl soldado una vez fuerte y poderoso
Feels his life is slipping awaySiente que su vida se le escapa
The winners of the war wrote the histort booksLos ganadores de la guerra escribieron los libros de historia
The noble and the brave they condemnedLos nobles y valientes condenaron
It wasn't hard for them to villify the truthNo les resultó difícil vilipendiar la verdad
When they stood on the winning endCuando estaban del lado ganador
He's just an old man, he fought under commandÉl es solo un anciano, luchó bajo órdenes
No one could realize the hell he's been throughNadie podría darse cuenta del infierno que ha vivido
Stripped of his pension, robbed of his landDespojado de su pensión, despojado de su tierra
Accused of crimes that he didn't doAcusado de crímenes que no cometió
He fought with honor, he fought with valorLuchó con honor, luchó con valor
Never questioned orders his commanders gaveNunca cuestionó las órdenes que le daban sus comandantes
Now his kind is shunned and he doesn't understandAhora su tipo es rechazado y no entiende
Why his beloved land has turned its back on the bravePor qué su amada tierra ha dado la espalda a los valientes
He's haunted by images of hellEstá atormentado por imágenes del infierno
He faced so many years agoQue enfrentó tantos años atrás
Dreaming the images of his fallen comradesSoñando con las imágenes de sus camaradas caídos
In graves so far away from homeEn tumbas tan lejos de casa
He sits in his room, keeps wondering whySe sienta en su habitación, se pregunta por qué
No one shows them any respectNadie les muestra respeto
When so much sacrifice was paid in bloodCuando tanto sacrificio se pagó con sangre
How could anyone forget?¿Cómo podría alguien olvidar?
Now time is running outAhora el tiempo se agota
His generation is coming to an endSu generación está llegando a su fin
He wants to leave his mark on societyQuiere dejar su huella en la sociedad
Anyway that he canDe cualquier manera que pueda
He feels no guilt, he feels no shameNo siente culpa, no siente vergüenza
He just wants his voice to be heardSolo quiere que su voz sea escuchada
To tell the truth about the pastPara contar la verdad sobre el pasado
He wants to tell the worldQuiere contarle al mundo
