Lyrics

Sheets of marble - on a hill,
A bright eternal flame,
Veterans of a distant hell,
To the wall we came,
And standing there in silence - we share our dreams once more,
And wonder what we all can do - to put the end to war.

Sheets of marble - on a hill,
A face beneath each one,
I'm proud to say I knew you well,
When your lives became undone,
And I'm damned proud to know you - and I thank you for your time,
And your hopes and inspiration - still live there in my mind.

And how am I supposed to feel,
Why did I survive?
And I can't wait - to shake your hand,
When we meet on the other side,
But in this life I'm living - until I get to that door,
I'll try to teach my children - there's just sadness in all war.

Sheets of marble - on a hill,
A bright eternal flame,
Veterans of a distant hell,
To the wall we came,
To the wall we came.

	  J. Lee Paulet 1993
