A Wound And A Scar Lyrics - Lost Ground - Defeater

I stand next to an empty grave 

Where my friends will lay 

I'll put their bodies down 

Into their resting place. 

Got a purple heart 

For a wound and scar 

They just send letters home 

That broke the families apart. 

The paulbearers burden 

As heavy as my hearts hurting. 

All the pain and guilt 

My head is pondering. 

Why them and not me? 

Why them and not me? 

Why? 

Did you ever hear that coffin sound? 

Means another poor boy is in the ground. 

Have you ever heard them church bells toll? 

Means another poor boy is dead and gone. 

Have you ever heard that coffin sound? 

Means another poor boy is in the ground. 

The preachers preach, only folded flags 

And the mothers mourn, holding folded flags. 

Just caskets and folded flags. 

Just caskets and folded flags. 

No hope, just folded flags. 

No hope, just folded flags. 

No hope 

No hope 

No hope 

No hope
