And over the river, there is a place

We can see you

We can see you reading our names

Up here in heaven, we stand together

Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time

How can we tell them what it's for?
When they cry

When they cry, are voices heard anymore?

Are you listening

Are you listening, men of the war?
There is nothing

There is nothing worth dying for
