As we take our lives for granted and go on about our day
A forgotten generation will just simply fade away
And their stories that got with them, how they fought just to survive.
Now many generations won't know the reasons why.
They drafted in and shipped them out from their families
and send them half way around the world to save their country.
From every town and county, they fought there side by side.
And on these far away foreign shores, so many of them died.
And it's not, not to be!
The Forgotten Generation just wanted to be free.
And it's not, not to be!
The graves where they lay nameless as far as you can see.
And it's not, not to be, not to be...........
Without no hesitation, they stepped onto the shore.
Just like the generation in the war to end all wars.
As their brothers died beside them, as they pushed into the fray.
In the hopes that they can just go on, to live another day
And it's not, not to be!
The Forgotten Generation just wanted to be free.
And it's not, not to be!
The graves where they lay nameless as far as you can see.
And it's not, not to be, not to be...........

Obey the Tyrant
'Forgotten Generation’ the longest but also the EP’s standout track. Telling simply the story of men conscripted and sent off to fight and for many to die for the freedoms we take for granted.
