Waves of reverent foam carry the bodies to their grave
Along the beach rest those lost forever, others kneel down to pray
Laid on the altar of freedom, for justice they gave their lives
Yet at the Rapido river crossing, a young man has survived
The years threw down through the ages
And what the bullets did not take
The life was still at stake...
And the cancer made its claim
He shall rest in peace, as we that are left shall weep
He shall break bread with the lord on high, and in eternal joy shall stay
Even though now, you are far away, I know we will meet again... someday...
