The Old Glory

The father cries

The mother cries

When their child dies

A grown up man

But  a child in their eyes

The father weeps

The mother weeps

When their child sleeps

Into the eternal deeps

From the country’s reaps

The father mourn

The mother mourn

While the child is torn

When he was born

With the country’s scorn 

The father dies

The mother dies

When the bloody flag flies

Into the sky, into the lies

Where the old glory dies
