Great man of war

And were these men of New England
Who fought foremost in this maritime encounter
Which humbled the pride and the power of Great Britain
Were these not great men of war?

I ask you, was this sacrifice of body and the soul
For the freedoms we have to come to know
Not by these great men of war?
I ask you, were these not great men of war?

Great man of war, Washington
Great man of war, Stonewall Jackson
Great man of war, John Paul Jones
Great man of war

Pride, pride and vanity
Bring forth the flesh of humanity
And give to those, so ordained to lead
These crusades of sword and flames

Because a top the mountains in full view
I watch the reaper taking his due
Of these great men of war
God, God have mercy on these great men of war

Great man of war, Geronimo
Great man of war, Robert E. Lee
Great man of war, Ulysses S. Grant
Great man of war

Jesus, mother, God
Not my arms
What have you done to my arms?
Not my legs, not my legs
Why did you cut off my arms and my legs?
I am a great man of war

Great man of war, Eisenhower
Great man of war, George Patton
Great man of war, McArthur
Great man of war
