| The Soldier, Part II Author Jonathan [email protected] With your freedom lost You now live in oppression The soldiers who fought for you Now lay dead Their blood runs through the soil And you cry for them Yet, you could have prevented this You could have remembered his sacrifice Paid in blood, for your freedom You could have honored his undying loyalty To this country who has no loyalty to him And now, you can say Oh say can you see, by the dead men lying in blood A new flag raises One redder than the blood that flows from the dead men A flag that shows no mercy One of destroyed dreams, and lost hope The hammer and sickle Is your new allegiance Remember it well For you shall not break it's bond And the dead soldiers Are the only free men left They have no more suffering For their deaths freed them from your new master Speak not badly of your new dictator For you shall be the next to die |
