The grave that they dug him had flowers [00:00:00]

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors [00:00:05]

And the brown earth bleached [00:00:10]

White at the edge of his gravestone [00:00:12]

He’s gone [00:00:16]

[00:00:17]

When the wars of our nation did beckon [00:00:28]

A man barely twenty did answer the calling [00:00:33]

Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation [00:00:38]

He’s gone [00:00:42]

But eternity knows him and it knows what we’ve done [00:00:45]

And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers [00:00:54]

Leaving brown muddy clay where the earth had been dry [00:01:02]

And deep in the trench he waited for hours [00:01:08]

As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die [00:01:15]

But the silence of night was shattered by fire [00:01:22]

As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air [00:01:29]

And one after another his comrades were slaughtered [00:01:36]

In morgue of marines alone standing there [00:01:41]

He crouched ever lower ever lower with fear [00:01:48]

They can’t let me die the can’t let me die here [00:01:54]

I’ll cover myself with the mud and the earth [00:02:00]

I’ll cover myself I know I’m not brave [00:02:06]

The earth the earth the earth is my grave [00:02:12]

The grave that they dug him had flowers [00:02:48]

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors [00:02:54]

And the brown earth bleached [00:02:59]

White at the edge of his gravestone [00:03:01]

He’s gone [00:03:07]
