Purple Heart Lyrics

When we signed up for the army
To a rangers company
Armed with M16's
Straight into the warThen we served under the banner
Clad in US stars an stripes
And on moonless nights
We marched for endless milesOnce we were soldiers
Once we were young
We have found our peace
We've seen the endFallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep 6 feet belowHeart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in armsWe have fought in distant conflict
And for all to many years
Seen our friends go down

Wounded dead or lostKnow that peace comes at a high price
It may take a thousand lives
And a deep belief
Sacrifice of menShining heart beats no more
Buried deep deep in cold earth
Shallow grave in my motherland
Here I stay lay in darkness forever
