Text: Keni Thomas. Last Band Of Brothers.
Well I was walking through graveyard
Endless rows of white
Where they buried all the men
Who ever took up arms to fight.
When I came across this old man
He was talking to the grave.
I kept my distance, watched in awe
As he spoke to them by name.
Kacey you were the captain
Of our high school football team.
And Iggy we knew you lied about you age
You were seventeen.
And Holland you were the first to fall
When we came under attack.
You boys 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 I wont forget the others,
on your left and on your 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 raised up 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 your left and on your right.
It won't be long until I'm gone
You know I'll join you then.
Then 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 but you've moved on
I know your there with them.
And now your last band of brothers will rise again
Oh, your last band of brothers will rise again
Endless rows of white
Where they buried all the men
Who ever took up arms to fight.
When I came across this old man
He was talking to the grave.
I kept my distance, watched in awe
As he spoke to them by name.
