the story as i C it
a soldier sits near his fallen comrade, only just shot seconds ago, he's still breathing, but is fading in and out of conciousness. The first soldier tries to tell him that he was his best friend, since they've known each other since they were 9 & 10 years old. the injured soldier closes his eyes, and dies... forcing away the tears, the first soldier feels adrenaline rush through his veins, and begins fighting as if the fate of the world rested on his shoulders...
the reason this simple army man made a difference?
when the enemy began to retreat, he kept fighting.
when he was shot in the arm, he kept fighting.
when the enemy was completely obliterated, he looked around...
he was the only soldier left in sight, his comrades had run away while he was with his dying friend.
this is what i see when i hear this song
