Soldier´s last song

I'm just a soldier sent on a patrol,
just one of ten thousands others
Yesterday I told ya
when we talked on a phone
that you're my beloved mother.

You were glad to hear my voice,
cause it meant I was still alive
You said you were scared every second
that I was gonna die.

But now I got shot
got three holes in my chest
took a shrapnel to thigh
and I'm bleeding hard.

I'm thinking of home
and I'm seeing your face
now with a tear in my eye
I'm whispering goodbye.

Medic  kneels next to me,
but I can't hear what he shouts
cause explosion made me go deaf.
Even though I can't hear him
I know that he says
„You got just a few seconds left".

I am glad I was in this squad
and that you were my brothers,
but I think that this is goodbye.

So with those few seconds
I'm sending prayers
That all of you will live through
And survie

I thought I was ready
when I joined the army
I knew this would happen
yet now I'm surprised.

I'm scared to leave now
I don't know what awaits
is there anything at all
or is it just dark end

My vision is getting dark
having to say farewell's hard
but don't cry and don't mourn my death.

Stand with heads held high

for I was your brother 

and please don't you forget my name.
