Battle Cry

I'd like to re-write
History books for all time
The future, the past
Search for the rhyme
The search goes on
For truth in everyone
Numbers on the wall
Counting sad young faces, count them all

The thrill of the fight
Killing's such a noble deed
And John said
Love is all we need
Should we forget
Or pause a moment to regret
Where have we been
I see things I wish I'd never seen

CHORUS:
Battle cry
Brave men never fear
Battle cry
Never shed a tear
Battle cry
All good soldiers hear the Battle cry

BRIDGE:
So many, many miles from home
Oh Lord have mercy on my soul
I think the loneliest man in the -
- world is a soldier
