lyrics

Crimson river running down his ear
Warm gun powder lighting every fear
Pulse is rushing, danger's coming near
Tomorrow he'll do it again

The smell of warm gun powder
Fills his bloody head
Fourteen men are wounded, thirty more are dead
Chief commanding officer, sits behind the lines
Barking out the orders where to put the mines

With the blood running down his face
He runs on like a man
To a body bag right out of this place
Like a true American

He never sees his mother
He never kissed his girl
He's busy taking orders
He's out to save the world

He never questions his orders
He never backs away
He's always on the ready
Born to save the day

Ladies and gentlemen
We're gathered here today
To mourn the loss of a friend
Who gave it all away
Ladies and gentlemen
He fought the best that he could
He gave it all for his land
Like American's should
