《The Grave》歌词

[00:00:00] The grave that they dug him had flowers

[00:00:05] Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors

[00:00:10] And the brown earth bleached

[00:00:12] White at the edge of his gravestone

[00:00:16] He’s gone

[00:00:17]

[00:00:28] When the wars of our nation did beckon

[00:00:33] A man barely twenty did answer the calling

[00:00:38] Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation

[00:00:42] He’s gone

[00:00:45] But eternity knows him and it knows what we’ve done

[00:00:54] And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers

[00:01:02] Leaving brown muddy clay where the earth had been dry

[00:01:08] And deep in the trench he waited for hours

[00:01:15] As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die

[00:01:22] But the silence of night was shattered by fire

[00:01:29] As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air

[00:01:36] And one after another his comrades were slaughtered

[00:01:41] In morgue of marines alone standing there

[00:01:48] He crouched ever lower ever lower with fear

[00:01:54] They can’t let me die the can’t let me die here

[00:02:00] I’ll cover myself with the mud and the earth

[00:02:06] I’ll cover myself I know I’m not brave

[00:02:12] The earth the earth the earth is my grave

[00:02:48] The grave that they dug him had flowers

[00:02:54] Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors

[00:02:59] And the brown earth bleached

[00:03:01] White at the edge of his gravestone

[00:03:07] He’s gone
