Purple Heart

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] When we signed up for the Army To a Rangers Company Armed with M16's Straight into the war Then we served under the banner Clad in US stars and stripes And on moonless nights We marched for endless miles [Pre-Chorus] Once we were soldiers, once we were young We have found our peace, we've seen the end [Chorus] Fallen in war, we belong to history Fallen in war sleep six feet below Heart of the brave, cannot bring me back to life Fallen in war, still Brothers in Arms [Verse 2] We have fought in distant conflicts And for all too many years Seen our friends go down Wounded, dead, or lost Know that peace comes at a high price It may take a thousand lives And a deep belief Sacrifice of men [Pre-Chorus] Once we were soldiers, once we were young We have found our peace, we've seen the end [Chorus] Fallen in war, we belong to history Fallen in war sleep six feet below Heart of the brave, cannot bring me back to life Fallen in war, still Brothers in Arms [Guitar Solo] [Interlude] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Bridge] Shining heart beats no more Buried deep, deep in cold earth Shallow grave in my motherland Here I stay, lay in darkness forever [Chorus] Fallen in war, we belong to history Fallen in war sleep six feet below Heart of the brave, cannot bring me back to life Fallen in war, still Brothers in Arms [Instrumental Outro]
