Lament!
I came today to be with you
Beneath this sky so vast so blue
We used to be a set... we two
Now I miss you. Now I miss you
Scarce more then boy you went away
Leaving behind your childhood days
To join your brothers in the fray
All in harms way. All in harms way
One night a bullet found your back
Your company repelled attack
Under our flag they brought you back
From Old Iraq. From Old Iraq
Your buddies from across the foam
So tearfully they brought you home
To this sad garden full of stones
Your final home. Your final home
I raise my voice to silent sky
Why did my baby have to die?
Same words that all sad mothers cry
To say goodbye. To say goodbye
With tears from soul I weep tonight
You went to war but lost your fight
I know that war is never right
Men die each night. Men die each night
Rest well young prince your race is run
Here taps will sound at set of sun
Where heroes rest when day is done
Sad Arlington. Sad Arlington
Beneath green grass so fast asleep
Eternal slumber...Final...deep
Respectful vigil sentries keep
While angels weep . While angels weep
A Monotetra
