Song for the Dead |
| Deep in the field |
| A lone soldier stands |
| With mud on his boot |
| And blood on his hands |
| They left him behind |
| To bury the dead |
| And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership |
| Pardon me, boys |
| If I slip off my pack |
| And sit for a while with you |
| I’d like to explain |
| Why you fine young men had to be blown apart |
| To defend this mud hole |
| Now our country, boys |
| Though it’s quite far away |
| Found itself jeopardized |
| Endangered, boys |
| By these very gooks |
| Who lie here beside you |
| Forever near |
| Forever |
| We’d like to express |
| Our deep admiration |
| For your courage under fire |
| And your willingness to die |
| For your country, boys |
| We won’t forget |
| We won’t forget |
