Purple Heart

2005
Lyrics

When we signed up for the army
To a rangers’ company
Armed with M16s
Straight into the war

Then we served under the banner
Clad in US stars and stripes
And on moonless nights
We marched for endless miles

Once we were soldiers, once we were young
We have found our peace, we’ve seen the end

Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep six feet below
Hearts of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms

We have fought in distant conflicts
And for all too many years
Seen our friends go down
Wounded dead or lost

Know that peace comes at a high price
It may take a thousand lives
And a deep belief
Sacrifice of men

Shining heart beats no more
Buried deep, deep in cold earth
Shallow grave in my motherland
Here I stay, in darkness forever

Music:Brodén
Lyrics:Sundström
