A Banner Life
See the man without a crown
Lying, dying on the ground
Music that once filled his head
Sadly now those notes are dead
See the mourners standing round
Sighing, crying the only sound
His eulogy was softly read
In memory of the life he led
See the field in which he lay
Flags flying on a cloudy day
His banner ever now will wave
Just one more soldier in the grave
