Visited the fallen

Called on the fallen Now buried by the way I stood in the rain On a grey, stormy day Flags hung on the posts And fluttered in the breeze I bowed low my head Then knelt down to my knees Thought I heard the words Of stories long gone by Echoing from hills That rise to touch the sky The ghosts of the past No longer cry in pain Resting now in peace Far from where they're slain I stand in freedom Distanced from battle grounds Family and friends The gladness knows no bounds Yet i know for sure The reason I am free They gave their lives for The ultimate decree
