We Honor the Fallen

We honor not just those who fought for freedom
No, not them alone
We honor them all
Every soldier who fought honorably
Every soldier who answered his nation's call

It is the leaders of nations that wage unrighteous wars
If there are villains in war, it is they
But, the soldier who is forced into the battle?
He is the but man who did obey

And, those who fell in pools of blood
Who left wives, sons and daughters
Behind
To fight?
Bless the blood they left upon the waters

War is not always the cause of the just
But when a soldier falls and returns to the dust
Then let us honor these fallen from every land
For they poured their blood into the sand
