HORAH! Was my life, i loved my life
I had two kids and a beautiful wife
I loved my country, my comrades, my corps.
My squad was the best, I couldnt ask for more
Now all of us are here
waiting, waiting
All of us feel ourselves
fading fading

Will they come back?
We wanna go back

We were selected, the best of the good
But not even we can survive with no foud
No supplies, no ammo
Hell, all we have on is our boots and our cammo

Will they come back?
We wanna go back!

Wait, someones coming
We're saved, WE"RE SAVED
I'll once again get to gaze on my babes
SURRENDER! SURRENDER!
We'll be prisoners of war
Maybe I'll survive to go home once more
Wait! Whats that?!?!
(My friends head rolls on the floor)
When they are done our bodies will rot on the shore
I guess I will know my life nomore.

Will they come back?
We won't go back

For those of you who do not know, this song is inspired by a true story of a group of Elite marines in world war II who landed on a japanese controlled Island, which they overtook with minimal resistance. However, some of the valiant men were left on the island by accident when the platoon withdrew. They waited for their country to save them, only to be discovered by japanese marines trying to retake the island, whom ended up beheading all of the men. They are but a few lines in a few textbooks that rarely get read, but their sacrifice for our country should never be forgotten. Semper Fi.
