SEA OF CROSSES / Single / April 21 2017
Lyrics by Ed Millican
Intro:
A sea of crosses
Salutes me from the earth
While pictures fill my mind
Visions of my 2nd birth
V1:
An elite team of 8 took my place
In knocking at the Reapers door
Their soul mission was to bring me home
But their wishes I ignored
V2:
Their orders came from the top,
Let my mother keep one son
For the other 3 had fallen
Now I was the only one
Bridge:
This news tore my soul asunder
But my comrades needed me
For we could hear the distant thunder
Of Massive Artillery
Pre-Chorus:
Undermanned and under-gunned
I could not leave them behind
The team stayed and fought like Lions
But none were left alive
Chorus:
Now upon cold earth
I bend my knee
And pray they have seen worth
When gazing down on me
Tell me I have lived a good life
Tell me I am worthy of your sacrifice
Outro:
I have tried so hard since the time
Your blood soaked the land
Please whisper in my mind
Tell me I have been a good man
