The trumpets flared, but I saw no glory
I wanted to see the faces of my comrades, alive and well
They're all dead, dead and buried

The parades continued, the people gawked
I was left with nothing but a heart that was broken
The trumpets flared, but I saw no buried

My squadmates, good men they were
But while I parade, I remember them
They're all dead, dead and buried

My minds races as they pin the medal on me
I was the only survivor, but that did not ease the mind
The trumpets flared, but I saw no glory

The general said a few words
I was thinking about my dead comrades
They're all dead, dead and buried

I continued to think, about them and their families
How they were forgotten, by the men who fought with them
The trumpets flared, but I saw no glory
They're all dead, dead and buried
