Raise your hand in salute
To the death of the youth
He’s back from the war
His parents are so proud now
Their boy’s life is on the battle ground
The smiles on their faces as they sit there and brag
Their son's fighting for our flag
But life was not the same or good as he thought it would be
His girlfriend slept around and there’s no hope for this economy
His depression sets in
He doesn’t act the same
The visions of war drive him insane
He can’t forget the past
It's built into his head
The pain, horror, blood, and people’s death
Chorus:
Another soldier
Another torment
Another son who's
Covered in blood
Then one day when no one was home
He just couldn’t take it so he picked up a gun
Tears running down his face he points it to his head
Counts down the seconds and screams as loud as he can
He let the trigger loose his body fell onto his bed
His blood stains the flag as it’s raised to honor his death
His parents fold the flag
He's lowered in the ground
It's placed on his grave from the people who once stood proud
