Earn A Soldier's Last Breath
Earn every soldier's last breath
Earn the freedom they gave us in death
Their sacrifice we can never assuage
From their valor we can never disengage
Everyday we should strive to earn their mortality
The only recompense is to give freedom immortality
We must live every second with honor
That their death never be a source of dishonor
They died to rid us of tyranny and oppression
Earn. . .. . .. . . this. . .. . .. . . Earn it.
