ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE. ANOTHER SOLDIER LOST
HE HAS GONE TO HEAVEN, BUT AT A COST.
NOW HE IS IN HEAVEN LIVING LIFE SO WELL
NO WAY GOD SENT HIM TO HELL
A NEW LIFE UP THERE STARTS WITH A CLEAN SLATE
HEAVEN IS A LITTLE BETTER
NOW THAT HE HAS GONE THROUGH THE PEARLY GATES
NO MORE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
OR GOING ON FISHING TRIPS
HANGING AT THE HOUSE OR FUN TIMES AT THE FAIR
EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT HERE
HIS MEMORY WILL LIVE ON
THROUGH YOU ME AND EVEN HIS PET MEGATRON
