My hero acclaimed
My love has come, a hero he is called
streets are lined for a hero to applaud
laurels are tossed, cheers are aroused
held shoulder high, he comes home announced
the swell of the cheers, for a home-bound hero
his chest adorned with medals and of honor
a flag is raised for an illustrious son is here
at last his dream has come true right here
alas! my love is gone, a hero he is called
streets lined for a fallen hero to applaud
laurels tossed, with weeping aroused
held shoulder high, in a coffin home announced
no cheers to hear, he now deafened by Sheol
no medals to behold, now blinded by hades
a flag is flown at half mast for a son no more
alas his dream is shattered, to died for no cause.
