Old before his time
old before his time
he travelled with the band
he was a friend, a helping hand
the summer beaches his lekkerland
old before his time
father army taught him to kill
believed their causes, sacrificed will
blue beret plagued by remorse still
old before his time
highly decorated, grief that smothers
records deleted, his and the others
alone he stands at the graves of his brothers
old before his time
he cries for the men at their unarmed shrines
yet his pained heart and soul continually shines
his sadness, his beauty etched by his facial lines
. . . .
nothing gained nothing lost in years
come into my arms, dry your tears
shine on, baby, shine on
as the eternal stars shine too
for your men, live well, they once shone for you

Welk een doordringende tekst een kruistocht tegen het oorlogsgeweld ook al worden de mannen gedecoreerd, wat is men met een medalje als de held dood terug komt.
Heel sterk en aangrijpend mooi gebracht !!

The harsh reality of wars, and the consequences.
But there is hope for those who suffer the aftermath.
Beautiful, Killea, especially the last part.
