David Bridie Nation (Of the Heartless Kind) lyrics

We dare not move
We sit close by, we're drinking the spoils, ignoring the cries
The one in every three dead
Haunting back on our shores
Is this all we've got the energy for?

Where has our heart gone?
Selective memory, isolationists
Falling back on ourselves pretend that we're strong
We're not that strong….

I believe that we had the chance to show
The strength in our heart, true test of our metal
And when the first hurdle came with the yards to be done
We fell, we crashed, we cried and fell down

Is this our whole nation of the heartless kind
This here's a sorrowful song
This here's a sorrowful song

Remember back when the Great Wars ended
They took us to those places, very special places

And we told them all, we'd never forget
We'd stand arm in arm
Judge us by the way we act now

Is my whole nation of the heartless kind
This here's a sorrowful song
This here's a sorrowful song

This here's a sorrowful song
This here's a sorrowful song
This here's a sorrowful song
A sorrowful nation, a sorrowful song
A sorrowful nation for a beautiful nation
For a sorrowful nation

Is this my whole nation of the heartless kind?
This here's a sorrowful song
This here's a sorrowful song
