Cast Unto the Flame

To see his life, desires, engulfed in the fire
A noble man, virtuous soul
Taken from our earth so abruptly

A warrior's passion, antithesis of shame
Never forget, the virtue in his name
Like a soldier dives on a grenade
Never forget him, Cast unto the Flame

His honor steadfast, his virtue a bond
To spare those he loved final decision drawn
Pay the price of death, his will strong
No longer among us, his memory lives on

A warrior's passion, antithesis of shame
Never forget, the virtue in his name
Like a soldier dives on a grenade
Never forget him, Cast unto the Flame

As the gasoline and flames spread
(Apocalyptic, vision of the dead)
His sacrifice not in vain
(Contained the fire, a calming rain)
Hundreds spared from fiery graves
(His honor lives on through those he saved)
A hero, a savior, uncommon in our time
Never forget, Cast unto the Flame
