Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



If I die in war zone, box me up and send me home. Put my medals on my chest, tell mum I did my best. Tell my dad not to bow, he won't get tension of me now. Tell my brother to study perfectly, keys of my bike will be his permanently. Tell my sister not to be upset, her bro won't rise after sunset. And tell my love not to cry, because I'm a soldier, and born to die!
