There are no names left of those
Fallen heroes of the past wars
Men who took on a deadly warfare
They laid down in the ground everywhere
Their bravery stays in hearts
Of remembering those who lived
This Eternal Flame that had been passed to us
Our chests will safeguard
When I look at the tapes that show
Footage from the front line of the war
As battalion is marching on, -
I see faces of men I used to know...
Even though they were not 25
Their spirit was strong and they thrived
Those who all as one stood up in bayonet
Those who came to Berlin
And there isn't a household
Where the stories are not retold
And the pictures not kept as gold
Of the soldiers so young and so old
Their gaze is the highest trial
For the kids that'll grow up in a while
These young boys will never question their Pledge
Of Allegiance to their Flag!
