Bravest of all Deeds

The war cries from above and below

Brave soldiers on the ground with nowhere to go

Bullets flying by at lightening speed

Soldiers are doing the bravest of all deeds

A distinctive sound of a bomb dropping

The constant danger keeps them hopping

Mike jumps, pushing Bobby to the ground

As the machine guns fire off another round

Bobby turns to Mike to say "Thanks man!"

Then he sees the blood on his hand

Mike looks slowly at Bobby near

His eyes were full of tears and fear

Mike's blood pooling on the ground

Suddenly, the war had no sound,

Everything slowed to a fraction of real time

Suddenly, there was no reason or rhyme

Bobby reaches over to compress the wound

But he knows Mike will die very soon

Mike gave his life for his buddy that day

He died on war grounds in a heroes way

Bobby looked deep into Bobby's eyes

"You're going to be alright," he lies

"You're going to go home now

I'll get you out of here somehow!"

Bobby sits, tears running from his eyes

While holding Mike saying his goodbyes

The war rages around the two men

As Bobby watches his dying friend

The blood encircles them both that day

And they both died in some way
