Names erased by marching boots
History written with borrowed blood
We were numbers carved in steel
Fed to the gears that never feel
Banners high, faces proud
While graves kept growing underground
They called it honor, called it fate
We called it living just to break
Hear the drums beneath the ground
Every heartbeat, a battle sound
Blood runs through the veins of the fallen
Still pumping lies into the land
Built your throne on broken bodies
Now feel their pulse in your hands
The dead don’t sleep, they’re calling
From every ditch and nameless grave
You can’t escape the weight you buried
In the veins of the fallen you remain
Brothers turned to fading smoke
Last words choking in our throats
Medals shine on hollow chests
While mothers pray to silhouettes
Eyes wide open, faith undone
We died before the war was won
Marching songs, deafening praise
Drown the screams we couldn’t say
Blood runs through the veins of the fallen
Still pumping lies into the land
Built your throne on broken bodies
Now feel their pulse in your hands
The dead don’t sleep, they’re calling
From every ditch and nameless grave
You can’t escape the weight you buried
In the veins of the fallen you remain
No flags
No crowns
Just flesh
In the ground
No glory
No grace
Just bones
In your name
If ghosts could bleed, you’d drown tonight
If truth had teeth, it’d tear your pride
We are the cost you never paid
The echo screaming: REMEMBER OUR NAMES
Blood runs through the veins of the fallen
A river you can’t outrun
Every empire drinks the silence
Till it chokes on what it’s done
The earth still shakes with our voices
We rise in every betrayed son
You can’t erase what you created
We live in the veins of the fallen
You buried the bodies…
But the blood remembers.
