• Don't cry my sweet child
    Though the war is still here
    You should be proud to know your father,
    He died without fear

    It’s not a story of love and hope and even glory
    But let me tell you how his story begins
    Like I said it’s not a story of hope
    It’s just a tale of this world’s sins

    Two sides hate each other
    Though they don’t really know the reason why
    But even though they hate each other
    They do not want to die

    Although they are scared , they continue to go on
    Their eyes frozen cold glaring into a cloudy abyss
    One youngster began cower
    As one began to hiss

    The thousands stood on opposite sides staring at one another
    They were all quiet except the youngster who stuttered
    They stared at each other with fear and with hate
    Waiting for the gun shot that would be someone's fate

    Your father standing along side the others
    His gun gripped tightly in his hand
    Looking at the faces of his comrads
    Wondering if this would be their last stand


    The opponents they stand, bloodlust increasing
    Your father thinking of ways to keep others from deceasing
    The rivals they stand, patient no more
    It's time to pull their guns out and stop cowering like before


    The opposing sides they run to each other, though some with fear
    Although they knew much of the death that came near
    Yet your father just ran with a cold star in his eye
    Telling this world of his fateful good-bye


    You'd be proud to know your father faught courageous and brave
    Before he died he saw others in trouble, and one he did save
    And he still lives today, with a debt to pay, and pay it he sought
    Who knew that one day he'd marry my daughter

    Though he still lives today
    He is crippled by his own fear
    Shaking from the day
    He remembers too clear

    If you wish to, one day I'll take you out to the battlegrounds once more
    So you can remember the man I had known once before
    My son-in-law remembers the day he had the star in his eye
    Never suspecting he'd tell us all good-bye~
