Await The Last Grain

this one is about bringing home the troops (i'm American)
Verse 1
Another chime, in the time, that is spent abroad
How many more will we hear?
Freedom cost, lives are lost, endless tears are shed
Still at dawn, the battle goes on, until the enemy's dead
Torturing pain, from the saddening rain, like a wounded soldier's cry
Blistering heat, can not be beat, from the season's blazing sky
Chorus
Await the last grain
The rest empties out
Await the last grain
Verse 2
Banners waving, hopes are caving, another sacrifice goes down
No more honorary tombs!
Changing seasons, absent reasons, what is taking so long
Oil spilled, blood is drilled, where's the right in all this wrong
Missing pieces, praying Jesus, will guide us by the light
Broken hearts, on we march, searching out of sight
(Chorus)
Verse 3
Eyes are fired, shots are tired, all of nothing remains
Novocaine wears off, adrenaline takes off, racing through our veins
Tears of dismay, unwanted delay, it's how the story goes
Land of the free, because of thee, a salute to all of our heroes
