lyrics

We Sang along to the sounds of loaded guns as we marched through the streets of fire
and I was just a boy in the adolescent army, a pawn that's left behind for the flag I died to save
we felt a hand, guiding motherland. Guiding to defend the shores of Jacob's Gate
I will return just to see the eyes of the sweetheart left behind
Glory Glory send me to die.

We stepped in time, crossing border lines as the sun set the stage of battle
the sargent to his men said, "Boys you cant forget, Today we stand before the judgment of the lord."
I softly pray, "Oh Holiest of names, please give me strength and courage to fight glorified."
The time has come, the war is far from won, and we gladly sing along
Glory Glory send me to die.

Explosions in the sky brightly fill my eyes as we dance accross the fronline to welcome the brigade
with the war I march beside to conquer glorified, to stand to the right of the brothers I have lost.
A man with no regret will never understand how I wish I could have kissed you before I said goodbye
I feel this song of death, passing through these lips, and I'm singing only this,
Glory, Glory send me to die.

My old band. I played trumpet, sang a bit, and did a decent share of the songwriting. This shows a bit of where I come from. Ben Ernest Nelson
