The Good Die Young
November 23, 2015
Standing tall is the spectral soldier
Lifting the spirits of the other men
And the good die young
He answers all the youths questions
The youth begins to admire him
But the good die young
He is wounded in the first battle
Slowly he dies and leaves the youth petrified
So once again the good die young.
