Under the Flag

There were no words to say
As I knelt down to pray
The bells, they began to chime
Lost in the fray
Too much to pay
Another before his time

I remember that day
As the bagpipes did play
And the drummers
They started to pound
All hands to their brow
Without a sound
As we laid our brother down

We were given the sign
So we all formed a line
A sea of blue
All of us mourn
For a life thats been torn
Away from us much too soon

The procession passed by
Without a dry eye
On it's way to that hollow ground
Bugle did cry out
Through the blue sky
As we laid our brother down

Though we are lost
No matter the cost
We pleged our life to this cause
Those that have gone
We will carry on
Without fear
Without though
Without cause

As all of us found
Through duty we're bound
For service of others we stayed
And our sacrifice will keep up the fight
Until under the flag we do lay

Until under the flag we do lay
