In light of recent tragedy
We're gathered here today
To lay a fallen soldier
Whose life we took away
In silence and in agony
He waited to depart
From bullet wounds, he slipped away
A hole ripped through his heart
Fighting for the freedom
Of his home, the USA
We sent this man to die,
For what? the war that still remains?
But now the pains escaped him so
He's free to run away
The soldiers cries have all but died
And there'll be Hell to pay
Nothing is real
I can feel you getting near
I hope you love me
But that's just not enough
We promised each other forever
And I need only you
Take my hand, tonight

Will you remember me
Or will my silence make me fade
Into memories that you will not retain
Is it too late to say
Your face is inside all my dreams
When i'm gone will you know you were the one

— The End —
