Heroes
Ode to the fallen heroes
Who left their all
When duty call
Glanced at victory
At the expense of of their lives
Living children and wives
To restore honor and glory.
They fell with their faces with the foes.
They performed their duty diligently
Remember to honor them with dignity.
Ode to the fallen heroes
Who seemed out of battle have escaped
Through some profound dull tunnel
Long since scooped.
No longer mingle with their laughing comrades
Nor talk of their battle escapades
Neither sit at familiar tables at home
They sleep beyond the soil foam.
They fell with their faces with the foes.
They performed their duty diligently
Remember to honor them with dignity.
