[Verse 1]
Here’s to the walls of the land that we’ve loved and we’ve lost
Here’s to the towers we built but the enemy destroyed
We raised our fists
To fight for what we think what’s right
Crossed one off our lists
And marched towards the victories we write

[Verse 2]
Here’s to the flag that we brandished, a symbol of pride
Here’s to the glasses we cheered as we drank for thе night
We raised our hopes
Thе future was bright for us to see
It was a downward slope
We didn’t know we’d end up in here
It was never meant to be

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Here’s to the wars that we fought, that we’ve won and we’ve lost
Here’s to the tears that we’ve shed for what we valued the most
We raised a noise
And screamed ’til our very last breath
They’ve stolen our voice
And took away our right to be free
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be
[Verse 4]
Here’s to the trust that we formed and we broke
And the friendships we’ve that came all along
(It was never meant to be)
Here’s to the van on the lake and the snow
And the lanterns we saw all night long
(It was never meant to be)
Here’s to the land full of memories blown
And the greatness of it that was known
(It was never meant to be)
Here's to the peace now that everything’s gone
Its existence had always been wrong
(It was never meant to be)

[Outro]
Here's to the years full of sadness and cheer
Curtains closing, the credits roll, sing
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be
