Eight soldiers standing tall two by two
The silver gray casket draped in red, white and blue

Carried down the stairs of an old wooden church
Brought to a cemetery lined withs trees of oak and birch

They've come to take her boy of just nineteen years
The eulogy spoken between quiet sobs and tears

The flag is smartly folded and handed down to her
With trembling hand she clutches on a piece of earth

He answered the call in a land that no one ever knew
He gave his life for his Brothers in Arms and yes for me and you

Seven soldiers standing tall and side by side
A mothers heart is broken but also full of pride

Three volleys fired signal the end of this tragic day
Echo taps are heard within the gunsmoke haze

Sleep well my son and know this while you lay your head to rest
Your family and your Brothers in Arms we will never forget.......
