Bugle Call

Reveille called to the sound of a bugle
The regiment called to duty
The soldiers rally to the call

Its Politian’s that make the call
And pick the tune to bugle
Thier morals you're duty 

A soldier as no choice but duty
And must answer the Politian’s call
And die at the call of the bugle

The mournful bugle called you to duty , and  you answered the  grim reapers call .
