Meaning: America sends young men and women off to war and when they come home they are often forgotten.
Trivia bit #1: The original title was Forgotten Warriors of America – it didn’t sing well.
Trivia bit #2: The army of vocals were over 48 tracks deep.
Trivia bit #3: At the time the song was mixed I was beta testing a plugin for a vocal effect in the verse – it gave a real cool vibe.
Trivia bit #4: The song was recorded and finished a year and a half prior to release.

Lyrics

[Verse]
I lost my way
Forgot who I was at the end of the day
My mind became
Completely overloaded
I thought I was insane
Got twisted up like wreckage inside of my brain

[Pre Chorus]
You could look at me think of me never stand like me
Blood stains all over my memories until all of this smoke starts clearing
We’ll never stop seeing a wasteland that’s what war does to a man

[Chorus]
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors

[Verse]
I’m locked and loaded
I took an oath to sacrifice my life, to sacrifice
I’m in the war zone
Raining hell from the sky, raining hell from the sky
There’s those didn’t make it
Memorials should be showing they are recognized, recognized

[Pre Chorus]
You could look at ’em think of ’em never stand like them
Blood keeps stains all over their memories ’til all of this smoke starts clearing
We’ll never stop seeing a wasteland that’s what war does to a man

[Chorus]
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten warriors

[Bridge]
We fight for honor
We fight for freedom
We fight for God
We fight for country

[Chorus]
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
We are, we are, we are
Forgotten Warriors
