HISTORY IS ALWAYS A LIE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

history is always a lie
history is always a lie
no use to complain
or to even explain
because history is always a lie

the observer can never be fair
the observer can never be fair
he can't see the where
he can't even dare
the observer can never be fair

the soldier can never be sure
the soldier can never be sure
he can never be pure
all he can is endure
the soldier can never be sure

the general can never be right
the general can never be right
cause the future is night
and the past is too bright
the general can never be right

the widow can do not but grieve
the widow can do not but grieve
all she can is believe
when the flag is received
the widow can do not but grieve

the orphan will grow up alone
the orphan will grow up alone
looking over tombstones
in a field of old bones
the orphan will grow up alone

history is always a lie
history is always a lie
no use to cry
or to even ask why
because history is always a lie
