Branden Aeling (August 3 / Freeport, IL)

I have no sympathy for the dead
In the grave they shall lay
Nothing left to do or say
In that six foot hole they stay
Their future was their final cost

My heart has no feelings of loss
This is the price we shall all pay
Each in our own unique way
Soon hopefully will be my day
Another life for the ground to toss

I hear the martyr spirit calling me
Sometimes I wish it was today
I know though the price I pay
for that will be my final day
to see if there is a thing called free
