This is a 4.48 Mb MP3 file that plays for 3:16 minutesWhen they were young and off at war
Sons and Brothers became no more
While others marched on a war they damned
Our heroes died in Viet-nam

Gallant were these boys of war
They dreamed of home and nothing more
Shunned and scorned by fellow man
They take their lives with their own hand

Chorus:
A warrior died no welcome home
He had family yet he died alone
His mind was lost in a war torn land
He found his peace by a gun in hand

Thoughts of war live deep inside
Leaving them no place to hide
They live their lives the best they can
Till they end it all with their own hand

And the demons come both day and night
The war is over yet they still fight
Close their eyes and hear the screams
Death at hand is in their dreams

Chorus:
A warrior died no welcome home
He had family yet he died alone
His mind was lost in a war torn land
He found his peace by a gun in hand

Bury him ‘neath a blanket of stone
Place him deep when he is gone
Viet-nam has claimed this man
Yet a hero died by his own hand

Yes a hero died by his own hand
