What an Honor

Lyrics
VERSE I
White stones in perfect rows set against a verdant background
Marking where those heroes lie who heard the call
Silent in repose, they lie stately and serene
Testaments to valor few will ever see
CHORUS
What an honor to share this ground with these so worthy few
What an honor in your legion now having made the sacrifice like you
What an honor to bear this flag, as our funeral pall
What an honor, at peace at last knowing we gave all
VERSE II
With thanks of a grateful nation, they gave her my nation's shroud
As bugles wept in the distance, and rifles fired as I was lowered down
Please my love don't mourn me now for I am truly free
Peace has come and I can rest. I'm honored that you loved me
CHORUS
What an honor to share this ground with these so worthy few
What an honor in your legion now having made the sacrifice like you
What an honor to bear this flag, as our funeral pall
What an honor, at peace at last knowing we gave all
TAG
What an honor to bear this flag, and hear the bugle's final call
What an honor, at peace at last knowing, knowing, we gave all
