Lyrics From Michael TroyBack>>

The Last Day of May

1. On the hillside of tears
Stones stand like soldiers
All at attention, all in a row
To brave to stay, to young to go

2. Here's to the boys, who all went before me
No honor or glory, could ever repay
The lives that you spent
Just tears in showers, and hands full of flowers
On the last day in May.

Chorus

Though the valley of death, did swallow them whole
God let no soul, die in vain
When the boundaries of peace, get out of control
Let the Angel of Mercy, hold close their names.

3. There's a house, with a wall
With all of the pictures, of all of the children
All of them grown
There's a woman in the house
Who raised all the children
Who could never sleep easy, till all where at home

4. Here's to the mothers, who paid the ultimate price
Made to live out their lives, in grief all the years
Here's to the fathers, who comfort their wife
With nothing to offer, but buckets of tears

Chorus

5. In fields of green pastures
They lie by still water
All at attention, all in a row
Though flesh turns to dust, souls are forever
They restored the order, our cups overflow

Chorus
