[Intro]
Deep in the field
A lone soldier stands
With mud on his boot
Blood on his hand
They left him behind
Bury the dead
To say a few words on behalf of the leadership

[Verse 1]
Pardon me, boys
If I slip off my pack
And sit for a while with you
I'd like to explain
Why you fine young men had to be blown apart
To defend this mud hole

[Verse 2]
Now our country, boys
Though it's quite far away
Found itself jeopardized
Endangered, boys
By these very gooks
Who lie here beside you
Forever near
Forever
[Verse 3]
We'd like to express
Our deep admiration
For your courage under fire
And your willingness to die
For your country, boys
We won't forget
We won't forget
