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
