We Carry Them

 country as flag
In the darkness
In the place that hides the moon
... the night that visits the heart

'we carry them'

those that we love
grieving
those we remember
in the vast silence that shall never be forgotten

but most of all
we carry ourselves

because we are soldiers
because we love
because we can not be men
who turn away

Legions of heroes shall pass by
as we dream

Eyes right!

They salute
and fade away

We are soldiers

Sons of Liberty

...and liberty has blessed
us all.
