The promises were shattered
When The Reserves withdrew
From the sunken dreams of aimless men
who captured noones view.

They justified what they fought for
They sought to change the rules
By sending men over enemy lines
Looked upon as martyrs
But they died as fools.

(CHORUS)
Another shattered revolt
Another loss of face
Another shattered revolt
But we weren't disgraced
Another shattered revolt
But it wasn't our fault.

The victims of this fantasy
The victory was assured
They didn't see reality
And the enemy's empire was secured.

The promises were shattered
The tension line has snapped
History has turned backwards
And the enemy's empire has collapsed.

(CHORUS) x 2

And now The Reserves they retired
Hidden from their view
From the sunken men
Who dreamt of schemes
Were up against the wall
Some were executed
That is  -  All

A shattered revolt and it wasn't our fault
A shattered revolt and it wasn't our fault
A shattered revolt and it wasn't our fault
A shattered revolt
A shattered revolt
A shattered revolt
A shattered revolt
