There was snow, there was snow
Stretched for miles and more
Where we buried, where we buried
Our souls

Oh, I long, oh, I long
For them days left and gone
Where we sang and where we danced to a brighter song

But now I look upon a field with bodies
Stretched out and I feel nothing
But something's burning in my soul I let it
Lose control and I'm in, oh, God I've sinned

But I tried so hard, and we tried so hard
And it's a long long road, that you told me so
Yeah, I tried so hard, to forget where we are
And all we do is laugh and we sing

And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life

But I tried so hard, but we killed our hearts
In valleys low, I hear the trumpets blow
Yeah, I tried so hard, yet I'm lost and scarred
And I'm filled with regret yet I sing

And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
