Lyrics
Day by day fading away
The will to care at all
Disappointment festers inside
What are we doing here?
Grasping in the dark
Searching for a dying ember
Fighting for a purpose long forsaken
Fighting for Afghanistan
An errand for fools
Condemned to fruitless work
Like Sisyphus we go forth again
Ready to waste our lives
Mangled bodies
Broken minds
The price we pay for apathy
Grasping in the dark
Searching for a dying ember
Fighting for a purpose
Long forsaken
Fighting for Afghanistan
Optimistic illusions fade away
Resigned to death in a war doomed to fail
Fighting for Afghanistan
