His verdict and duty has been agreed
A somber day of man levied
Forced to leave his life behind
And man the trigger he's been assigned

The misty morning orange glow
Reflects the dawn of shadows low
Where wave once rolled there will be blood
To stain the tears of earthly mud

Now Peter
I want you to be strong
Daddy's going away
But he won't be long

Take care of your mother
And know I love you
I must be going now
I'll see you soon

As the fathers of war before his time
Guide his eyes into the wild
Return to haunt him in his prime
Through echoed laughter of wife and child

A life that is lost
For an unworthy cause
His death lay in fire
A funeral pyre
