        To make them feel wanted, he's a good holy man

            Cm                         Eb 
        He knows of their fear in the forthcoming flight 
         Cm                         Eb

        He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile 
        The order is given, they move down the line

        But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate 
 
Verse 3: 
 
        And the young men move out into the battle zone 
        He feels good, with God you're never alone

        Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

Verse 5: 
 
        In the morning they returned  with tears in their eyes 
        The stench of death drifts up to the skies

        Remembers the words, \"Thou shalt not kill\"
