Purple Heart

Sabaton

   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 an 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 6 feet below
   
   Hearts 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
   
   Shining heart beats no more
   Buried deep deep in cold earth
   Shallow grave in my motherland
   Here I stay lay in darkness forever
