~just a rough break down of what it means to me i dont have much time to go into detail but here is a nutshell~

Far from home on a road unknown Where the vultures circle on winds that blow From northern skies that haunt these waking moments (sent over seas in unknown terrain where people are just waiting to hurt you at all hours)

On shadows cast by the mountain range On calloused soles we find our way Through desperate eyes, we long for the horizon While this sun is rising (through night and pain they travel farther into the war wishing that when the sun rises they will be home)

We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don� belong to anyone We are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you�ve undone (all of your children feel alone in this new area while trying to fight and fix the problems our elders made for us)

When cries for help go unanswered And signal fires just burn and burn We wonder if we�re waiting here for nothing (after we ask for help many times and try and show you exactly where we are you still choose not to see or come help us)

Our lips are sewn our ears are filled With the constant drone of the unfulfilled But we�ll never fall if we stand for something We stand for something (threw the military we were tought to not speak out of line and only to listen to waht we are told but if we break the chain and stand up to what we are told we will live)

We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don� belong to anyone We are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you�ve undone (same as last chorus)

Don�t fall, I see lights in the distance They�re not far away Stand up because the sky is turning gray (our end is finaly comeing soon so stand up dont give up we have to be fast to make it)

There�s hope in these footsteps of persistence So don�t go astray These lights get closer everyday (as long as we stay together and dont give up our cause of right we will find our home and light)

We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don� belong to anyone We are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you�ve undone What you�ve undone (same chorus)

(what happens now, we don�t know, just hold on tight now here we go�) ((the future is unknown but. but hold your hats cause its coming)

I agree completely with this interpretation goo job
