Purple Heart

When we signed up for the armyTo a rangers companyArmed with M16'sStraight into the warThen we served under the bannerClad in US stars an stripesAnd on moonless nightsWe marched for endless miles[Chorus:]Once we were soldiersOnce we were youngWe have found our peaceWe've seen the endFallen in warWe belong to historyFallen in warSleep 6 feet belowHearts of the braveCannot bring me back to lifeFallen in warStill brothers in armsWe have fought in distant conflictAnd for all to many yearsSeen our friends go downWounded dead or lostKnow that peace comes at a high priceIt may take a thousand livesAnd a deep beliefSacrifice of men[Chorus]Shining heart beats no moreBuried deep deep in cold earthShallow grave in my motherlandHere I stay in darkness foreverFallen in warWe belong to historyFallen in warSleep 6 feet belowHearts of the braveCannot bring me back to lifeFallen in warStill brothers in arms.
