A Wound And Scar
by Defeater· from Lost Gruond
i stand next to an empty grave where my friends will lay. i'll put their bodies down into their restin' place. i got a purple heart for a wound and scar, they just sent letters home that broke their families apart. the pallbearer's burden as heavy as my heart's hurtin', all the pain and guilt my head is ponderin'. why them and not me? did you ever hear that coffin sound? it means another poor boy is in the ground. have you ever heard them church bells toll? it means another poor boy is dead and gone. the preachers preach, holdin' folded flags. mothers mourn, holdin' folded flags. just caskets and folded flags. no hope, just folded flags. no hope.
