Soldiers Requiem

Soldiers Requiem is Naked Raygun's first track of their Jettison LP. Released in 1988, Soldiers Requiem is probably the most recognizible track off Jettison and one of the most popular songs in the entire Raygun catalog.

Lyrics
And so it begins - that some things last forever This spirit endure - the courage that failed them never So let valor erase - the lies that sought to deceive them And so for now - I see it very clearly A soldier in time - knows just what he holds dearly And so it became - that time was not on their side And yet it remains - until we breathe our breath Like tears in rain - there is no shame in your death
