Farewell To Arms

Lay down your burden.

Lay down your arms.

Hardship is over and all is numb.

You finally get to rest.

You finally get to let go.

Fall down in the snow and let nature take you.

You are not alone, never.

Thousands of bodies are scattered on the battlefield.

They all had lives.

They all had futures.

They all ended too soon.

Go ahead and turn the snow strawberry red.

Your song will be played.

Your name will live on.

We will remember you forever more.

So rest now, my soldier.

Your brothers shall bring the peace.
