I am dead
for love of country
I no longer feel the pain
Reach out to all the others
that fell in freedom's name

Said Hello to Patrick Henry
shook hands with Dr. King
Broke bread with all my brothers
who paid for freedom's ring

Lives throughout the ages
the sum of  human kind
Fill tomes of written pages
but seldom you will find

Men who fought for freedom
on someone else's shore
Overthrow a king's unreason
without the taste for war

In oath we lose our brothers
And many more will die
For our love of country
Is our freedom's battle cry

Indeed~

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night
