Album: Flags Of Our Father

Well I was visiting the graveyards
In this rows of white
Where they berried all the soldiers
Who ever took up arms to fight
When I cam across this old man
He was talking to the grave
I kept my distance, watched in aw
As he spoke to them by name

Kacey your still the captain
Of our high school football team
And Iggy we knew you lied about you age
You were seventeen
And Harlem you were the first to fall
When we came under attack
You peoples are the heroes,
The ones who never made it back

And he said
Buddy if you hear me,
Well you know you save my life
And you know I wont forget the others,
The ones on our left and on our right
It wont be long until I'm gone
You know I'll join you then
Then our last band of brothers will rise again

So I called that man a hero
And I asked if we could meet
But instead he introduced the men of Easy Company
He said we never dreamed what we would see
When raise our right hand
But our lives were bound forever
When we stepped out on that sand

He said
Buddy if you hear me
Well you know you save my life
And I wont forget the others
On our left and on our right
It won't be long until I'm gone
You know I'll join you then
Them our last band of brothers will rise again

Well it's been a while since I've been by
So I stopped just the other day
And I notice there was one more stone
In the ground where Easy laid

And I said
Buddy if you hear me
Well I know you gave your life
And I wont forget the others
On your left and on your right
A generation gone while you've moved on
I know you band with them
Last band of brothers will rise again
Last band of brothers will rise again
