Purple heart

When we signed up for the army To a rangers company Armed with M16's Straight into the war Then we served under the banner Clad in US stars an stripes And on moonless nights We marched for endless miles Once we were soldiers Once we were young We have found our peace We've seen the end Fallen in war We belong to history Fallen in war Sleep 6 feet below Hearts of the brave Cannot bring me back to life Fallen in war Still brothers in arms We have fought in distant conflict And for all to many years Seen our friends go down Wounded dead or lost Know that peace comes at a high price It may take a thousand lives And a deep belief Sacrifice of men Shining heart beats no more Buried deep deep in cold earth Shallow grave in my motherland Here I stay lay in darkness forever
