Play Rhy. Figure 2 (x2) for verse
Lyrics:
Make his fight on the hill in the early day. Constant chill deep inside.
Shouting gun, on they run, through the endless gray. On they fight, for they’re right. Yes, but who’s to say?
For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know. Suffered wounds test their pride.
Men of five, still alive, through the raging glow. Gone insane from the pain that the surely know.

To Verse 2:
Lyrics:
Take a look to the sky just before you die. It’s the last time he will.
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky. Shattered goal fills his soul w/ a ruthless cry.
Stranger now are his eyes, to this mystery. He hears the silence so loud.
Crack of dawn, all is gone, except the will to be. Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see.
