may you never come to know this man
find reason for his shaking hand
may you never meet-even greet-the beast
he's strained to maintain
upon liver it feeds
may you never find yourself at his door
mere TAPS take him back
he stays strapped
true guns galore
may you never hear stories of the battles
he's endured for your ensure
across the pond full battle rattle
may you never come to know this man
nor reason for his shaking hand
