Names On Stone
Who leaves faces remembered burned inside
With names of dead friends that come in a swarm
Always weary as they have already died
These band of brothers faced the darkest storm
Nights of forever with a fear they'd dread
Smeared by the rain with the guts and the mud
To track footprints on the backs of the dead
As death's stench flowed rapidly from warmblood
When soldiers fought in a war's hellish dream
When bullets rushed towards killing whoever
Their endless fear of time and body's scream
To find there's nothing after forever
These heroes honored are those that death claimed
Etched in marble graveyards most have been named
