Tides of War

Remember me as i walk away

for you i lived and died this day

And in this moment i can recall

that as i fell i still stood tall

Into the falling night i cry

tell them i love them and tell them why

I am not there to see them grow

or curb the wild oats they sow

I am the one with arms held wide

even in death not stepping aside

For god and country i am here

your pain i hold i feel your fear

Freedom is my gift to you

as i left, this price i knew

I am so cold and so afraid

and as the fear begins to fade

I think of those to follow me

to give their lives to liberty

As i taste death's embrace

i pray for strength and a bit of grace

Let me die as i have lived

leaving nothing to forgive

My eyes are heavy let me rest

I know now i have done my best

cool....hope everyone read this
