Under Sun Burning Bright

[DAISHI]

In Remembrance of War Season,

and all the noble Agarnorn who gave

their lives on the sands of Altepa:

 

 

Under sun burning bright

They went to the west

And went by the road most known

 

They gathered large

And raised up the flag

And walked as the sun did show

 

They had not guns

But bows and swords

They looked to the western cliffs

 

They marched to the edge

And then without rest

Did go to war's sweet kiss

 

Fathers and sons

Mothers and daughters

None would be spared that day

 

From all of the land

They went to the west

They went on their final way

 

Into those rocks

On Altepa's sand

Through the hills they marched to the fore

 

And saw in the eyes

Where their enemy lied

The color of the coming war

 

Then all came to be

In war did they see

The spirit of their fighting men

 

They raised up the voice

And having no choice

Gave their bodies to the weapon's edge

 

Their courage showed

And blood was sown

That freedom come the harvest day

 

The world would not see

But the people'd be

Free because of the price t'was paid
