On a silent mountain
ringed by enemy steel
stood the lonely defenders
martrys living still
sons of ancient warriors
fathers of proud family
fighting men of valor
legends of bravery
in the teeth of death
facing savage destiny
they scream their last breaths
in defiant litany
pierced by deadly bullets
slashed by wicked blades
their bodies stood testament
to their courage and bloody fates
crimson rivers of blood
sacrificed for loyalty
a legacy that survives
in honor and memory
as the birds of carrion
to the battle scene surveys
the trees bow in reverence
the wind's farewell trumpets play
quiet flights of angels
lifts from broken bodies
their souls serene surreal
straight to heaven upon celestial eddies.
