On Forgotten History
From musket sprays to cannon waves
Echoes cry out from silent graves
From gunners grips to cold steel ships
Generals cry out from hardened lips
Did they ever know their fate was so clear?
They wore the code which brave men hold dear
Arlington knows the courage it keeps
Buried below, the soldier sleeps
The battles still rage in a veteran's soul
Louder than a lecture hall's picture show.
We hear of the past with ageless depiction,
But hold of its essence as though it were fiction
From musket sprays to cannon waves
Echoes cry out from silent graves
From gunners grips to cold steel ships
Generals cry out from hardened lips
Did they ever know their fate was so clear?
They wore the code which brave men hold dear
Arlington knows the courage it keeps
Buried below, the soldier sleeps
The battles still rage in a veteran's soul
Louder than a lecture hall's picture show.
We hear of the past with ageless depiction,
But hold of its essence as though it were fiction
