Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the Lakes from the hills from the sky,
all is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light,
Dims the sight,
And a star Gems the sky Gleaming bright,
From afar, Drawing nigh, Falls the night.
Thanks and praise,
For our days,
Neath the sun, Neath the stars, Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know, God is nigh."


“God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of all conflicts. Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.”

THE CALL The blood of men flows ever out
As raging rivers to the sea
There seems to be an endless source
From long lost memory

The young men come to volunteer
To shed their blood once more
They've heard the call to bleed again
Upon some distant shore

Why is the call to die so strong
That men will heed the call
Or do they think they're not the ones
Who'll take the final fall.


It's always someone else who dies
Not we who volunteer
We think we'll never be the one
And laugh to hide our fear


But deep within our inner souls
We know we may be wrong
That death may be around the turn
Our life may not be long


But never mind we heard the call
We line up in our ranks
And a grateful nation will be there
To give us all their thanks


They'll build for us a monument
Young boys will come to stare
And they will be the next to go
To shed their blood somewhere.



WOUNDS OF WAR
Some wounds of war
Are never seen
They're buried deep within

No open wound
No Purple Heart
No blemish on the skin


But these are wounds
That leave a scar
Upon our very soul


They tear our hearts
Cause misery
And take a heavy toll

Our bloodless wounds
Cause us to ask
Oh, God, what was it for

We go through life
Not knowing why
We have these Wounds of War
