The Drummer Boys Song

Heroes, processed in baths of blood,emerge spotless, Oaths lanced on battered helmets and dirt dusted fatigues, the Hand of God upon the lawless, Never let the barrel lay its head to an enemy, the shell casings remain fixed and fearless, One solitary act propels man to sacrifice, it is still, timeless, Remember the mark is invisible, carried on fitted sheet flags, to us, faceless.
