lyrics

My letter came in later June that taxed me with my service there
The leather boots my sister shined carried me to the platform

Metal binds us there
Train groans for my fortune
I’ll be far from home

Strike the Sousa on her horn:
Exalt the heroes coming home.
Too green to have calcified their wounds
The older brothers will be back soon

My brothers here, trained how to die, costumed in tailored dress greens
My mother kissed me on my neck and waved another’s flag

This wreath binds us there, Train tells me my fortune
I’ll be far from home, But not for very long

Our bid to fate, So long ignored has carried to this long point
But bleary-eyed, the Sergeant smiled: “The peace we need is coming”
