Their Deaths We Will Revere

Upon the battlefield lamentation, sear In war strife lands both far and near There they sought to sketch in war, unclear Though shunned death which they fear The war had naught to do with slaves, Nor in a world which Freedom lives and strives Yet having seen this light before in other guise But not without the cost of human lives And of this war which they did not choose They sought the grains of hidden truth On bent knee’s they seek to soothe While anthem plays; they proudly salute Within in the crowd a loudly cheer When stars and stripes it does appear A message send both loud and clear Patriotism shall never disappear.
