Lyrics

Agony

Trapped in a nightmare
Prisoners of warfare
Days gone become years
Of suffering...

Fight on but what's to gain?
Misfortune leads to pain...

Fearless they won't die
Caged in they ask why

Cry out but don't cry
In agony...

Live on but what's to gain?
Die slowly everyday
Misfortune leads to pain
Will they ever be saved
From agony
Agony
Agony?

In silent suffering
It's never ending
They pray to end their

Misery...

Fight on but what's to gain?
Die slowly everyday
Misfortune leads to pain
Will they ever be saved
From agony
Agony
Agony
Agony?

Missing in action
Never forgotten
America the mighty
Set them free...

Fight on but what's to gain?
Die slowly everyday
Misfortune leads to pain
Will they ever be saved
From agony
Agony
Agony
Agony?
