The world is watching

Home is behind us

The world lies ahead

As the shadows gather beneath the setting sun

The darkness closes in

And we are here to fight it back

Home is behind us

The world lies ahead

So we fight, laughing as we die

Crying as we fall

Brave heroes to the finish

Home is behind us 

The world lies ahead

Know the father's anguish

And see the red clouds start to rain

On a kingdom that will fall before it rises from the ashes

Of its defeat

The difference between living and dying is time...dying is only a part of living but living isn't part of dying. It's what must go on before and after the fact. I enjoyed reading this.

Yes, this does immortalize his courage. Before I read your note my first thoughts were that this was about men leaving home to go into battle. Wonderful write.
