Purple Heart
When we signed up for the army
to a rangers company
armed with M16's
straight into the war
Then we served under the banner
clad in US stars and stripes
and on moonless nights
we marched for endless miles
Once we were soldiers
once we were young
we have found our peace
we've seen the end
Fallen in war
we belong to history
fallen in war
sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
cannot bring me back to life
fallen in war
still brothers in arms
We have fought in distant conflict
and for all to many years
seen our friends go down
wounded dead or lost
Know that peace comes at a high price
it may take a thousand lives
and a deep belief
sacrifice of men
Once we were soldiers
Once we were young
We have found our peace
We've seen the end
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms
Shining heart beats no more
Buried deep, deep in cold earth
Shallow grave in my motherland
Here I stay, here in darkness, forever
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms
to a rangers company
armed with M16's
straight into the war
Then we served under the banner
clad in US stars and stripes
and on moonless nights
we marched for endless miles
Once we were soldiers
once we were young
we have found our peace
we've seen the end
Fallen in war
we belong to history
fallen in war
sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
cannot bring me back to life
fallen in war
still brothers in arms
We have fought in distant conflict
and for all to many years
seen our friends go down
wounded dead or lost
Know that peace comes at a high price
it may take a thousand lives
and a deep belief
sacrifice of men
Once we were soldiers
Once we were young
We have found our peace
We've seen the end
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms
Shining heart beats no more
Buried deep, deep in cold earth
Shallow grave in my motherland
Here I stay, here in darkness, forever
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms
