[INTRO]
(MILITARY TAPS PLAYS WITH BAGPIPES LIGHTLY IN BACKGROUND)
[Verse 1]
Black granite reflects the morning sun
Another day in Washington has begun
I trace a name with my trembling hand
A boy who never made it back to our land
He was eighteen, eyes of bright sky blue
Now he's just a number on panel two
[Chorus]
In the shadow of honor, the weeping willows cry
Underneath the heavy weight of a gray DC sky
Fifty-eight thousand stories etched in stone
Reminding every heart that they're never alone
I leave a yellow rose where the dark walls meet
In the shadow of honor, the silence is sweet
[Verse 2]
An old man stands in his faded green coat
Clearing the tears from his weathered throat
He salutes a ghost only he can see
Whispering, "Buddy, it should've been me"
The wind blows soft through the open Mall
Carrying the prayers left against the wall
[Chorus]
In the shadow of honor, the weeping willows cry
Underneath the heavy weight of a gray DC sky
Fifty-eight thousand stories etched in stone
Reminding every heart that they're never alone
I leave a yellow rose where the dark walls meet
In the shadow of honor, the silence is sweet
[Bridge]
It’s a long black scar in the beautiful grass
A mirror of the future and a ghost of the past
They gave up their tomorrows for our today
There aren't enough words for a country to say
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
In the shadow of honor, the weeping willows cry
Underneath the heavy weight of a gray DC sky
Fifty-eight thousand stories etched in stone
Reminding every heart that they're never alone
I leave a yellow rose where the dark walls meet
In the shadow of honor, the silence is sweet
[Outro]
(Play Military Taps With Bagpipes Lightly Over Last Verse)
Yeah, the silence is sweet
God bless 'em all
At the wall
In the shadow of honor
