Out in the rain where the tears fall
Out on the lonely graves,
And the wind carries the call
Whispering the deads name.
And down in the ground
Is where my heart lays
And the mothers of us all
Come and cry away their pain.
And when they speak of our lives
What will they say?
Did we die for a cause
Or did we die without a name.
And down below the ground
Is where our hearts lay,
And the loved ones of us all
Come and cry away their pain,
For we are fallen soldiers
Who gave our lives,
In our hearts we could hope
But we couldn't fool the time,
We knew we wouldn't make it home
And still we marched on,
With our backs against the wall
We sang our songs.
And now all the fields have turned green
Beneath the great blue sky,
Our bodies dead but hearts live on
Fallen soldiers never die.
And down below the ground
Our blood still remains,
You can hear our crys to the battlefield
Come and cry away your pain.
