when I'm done
tell my words
praise my deeds
and dwell in peace
when am gone
let my story
not be of the fallen
but of he
who raised a flag
fought for a cause
when am gone
the earth might forget
as the season pass
my deeds shall be your redemption
when am gone
thou shall think of my days
as I become memory
my body enriching the soil
as I become part of the earth
when am gone
as my soul ascend
I shall look from above
like a hawk jingling in the sky
with wings as mighty as the waves
when am gone
your memories shall not be of pain
As death pierced my soul
pain was not my gain
I fall on my back
with bruises in my spines
I gave a smile
knowing I did all I could
for a future
I might never see
when am gone
when stories and tales
of heros and legends are told
let my name be on thy lips
as he who fought for the flag
for the glory of the future
that is yet to come.
