Life's majestic, like a brave soldier
Like his lover, waiting for
The death letter…
Now, to come.

(Chorus)
I knew that guy
All his life, saving kids from the grave
His eternal line, sunshine
Rising day by day.

Life's pathetic, like the exploders
Minds of the leaders,
That killed the soldier
Now he's gone.

She's crying in his tombstone
Reading the epitaph
That says that…

Darling forgive me
I'll not come back
But I'll always be
By your side but away from here
Christmas will be sad this year.
