Avenge Me In Death

Go and fight on without me, 
search high & low.
Don't let fear or your emotions show. 
Take them by surprise, 
make sure you see their eyes
before you open fire on their lives.
Remember what I say, with my last breath
avenge me in death!

I won't being going home.
with you, tell my wife I tried, 
but I guess I was due.
Destiny played a tricked me,
now I'll die out here alone.
In my final moments, 
My life's last test.
avenge me in death!

Let them all know I died brave
but it was time for me today,  I've gone
to Heaven,  my soul; has been laid
to rest in a battle grave.
I give to you,  my last
request on my dying bed.

Avenge me in death!
