The Snow White Rows of Arlington

There're a lot of perfect reasons
 To never fight another war
 There're a lot of perfect questions
 As to what's worth fighting for
 And there're a lot of perfect fools
 Who refuse to read the
 Writing on the wall
 But the truth is there are people
 Who have made it crystal clear
 That it is their holy mission
 To destroy all we hold dear
 And they are busily out searching
 For the fire to make this
 Towering nation fall
 Adios, sweet home and family
 I am off to fight a war
 That must be won
 You will know why I am going
 When you see
 The snow white rows of Arlington
 Every blade of grass is sacred
 Every headstone is a shrine
 To somebody who was willing
 To put existence on the line
 The liberty we take for granted
 It was purchased with their
 Patriotic lives
 Are their sleeping spirits restless
 Do they listen for the sound
 Of the mustering of armies
 To defend their hallowed ground
 Will we rise to the occasion
 And insure that their life's
 Legacies survive?
 Through the willows blow soft breezes
 They are whispering my name
 Asking did they die for nothing
 Am I the keeper of the flame?
 Adios, my home and family
 Wave goodbye to your
 West Texas native son
 You will know why I am leaving
 When you see
 The snow white rows of Arlington
 Adios, sweet home and family
 Wave goodbye to your
 West Texas native son
 And if it be my fate, you'll find me
 Proudly sleeping in the snow white rows
 When you see
 The snow white rows of Arlington
