80 More Lives

To the 80 soldiers lost in the month of May:

here's 80 more lives gone away
who will never again see
the light of day
80 more souls torn away

that's 80 more lives gone away
drifting out into the sea
in the month of May
80 more souls torn away

what's 80 more lives gone away?
just a number the cold
and callous would say
80 more souls torn away

those 80 more lives gone away
are debt we can never
begin to repay
80 more lives torn away

for the 80 more lives gone away
let us all pray that peace
will find it's way
to the 80 more lives torn away
