~ Chasing The
Sinking Fox ~
Like rag men,
marching home,
Our men came back
from war,
Imprinted by the
battle cry
And creed that
they fought for,
Hollowed eyes and
slack jaws
And shuffled steps
to home,
To warm beds, warm
food,
And memories where
they've roamed.
Apocalyptic
horrors,
And deeds too sad
to tell,
Live within their
heartbeats,
Footnotes from
life in Hell.
Infantry to
Infantry,
Chasing the
Sinking Fox,
From Luxembourg to
Viet Nam,
And anywhere that
mocks-
Our Liberty and
Freedom...
Our democratic
dream,
Bounty bought by
precious blood
And offerings
unseen.
So hold them
close, within your
heart,
Our Liberty's
Defender,
'Til from this
Life, they depart,
Their only true
surrender!
