The Soldier

Until the last drops of my blood That falls onto the earth and becomes a mud Upon that same earth others will tread Then they will walk upon the blood that I bled. A soldier I am from the blood that I bleed It is my honor and my pride and also my creed To defend and protect this one great nation From enemies and foes and sadly not taxation. I will fight and protect to my last breath I will give my sweat and pain and also my death My honor is for freedom and for democracy I stand for the people and not for bureaucracy. My allegiance and my oath is to my country I was trained and taught to fight for the free For the weak and the oppressed I will defend their right If you take away freedom, I am ready to fight. As a soldier I will be remembered until the day I die In the ground with my flag I will gladly lie And when Gabrielle blows his horn from God’s golden arch Like all soldiers I will proudly stand up, and March.
