Seven shots

by mystery-man

Fire! Seven shots sound Seven shots heard They lower you into the soil You always passed on through each toil Fire! Seven shots sound Seven shots heard Mother cries into my shoulder, I look away as i lose my brother Fire!   Seven shots sound Seven shots heard A heroes burial you deserve, This nations life you did preserve.
