List of NH’s Fallen Soldiers – Memorial Day 2012
Lyrics to the songs played during the broadcast:
Mansions Of The Lord
Sung by the West Point Cadets
(Played at the reading of NH’s Fallen)
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
To the Mansions of the Lord.
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord.
“Requiem For A Soldier”
Sung by Katherine Jenkins
You never lived to see
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty
With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory
In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men’s wars
Gone to paradise
We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you’ll see we can live together
When all the world is free
I wish you’d lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty
We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you’ll see – we can live together
When all the world is free
The Angels Came Down
Sung by Kevin Cosner
(Played at the end of the broadcast)
Walking all alone in the Southern rain
By graveyards and battlefields that blood still stains
Back to a time when the angels came
Walking all alone in the Southern rain
In the forests and the fields so many men were killed
I can hear their cries still echo through these hills
That was the time when the angels came
Walking all alone in the Southern rain
The angels came down to the fallen men
They held their hands and they prayed for them
They carried their souls beyond the moon and the sun
All the way to heaven one by one
The angels worked so hard for so many years
To heaven and back again they shed so many tears
They left no one and they placed no blame
Walking all alone in the Southern rain
The angels came down to the fallen men
They held their hands and they prayed for them
They carried their souls beyond the moon and the sun
All the way to heaven one by one
Walking all alone in the Southern rain
Never heal the troubles never heal the pain
But that was the time when the angels came
Walking all alone in the Southern Rain
For You
Sung by Keith Urban
All I saw was smoke and fire; I didn’t feel a thing,
but suddenly I was rising higher.
And I felt like I’d just made the biggest mistake
when I though about my unborn child;
when I thought about my wife.
And the answer rang out clear
from somewhere up above:
No greater gift has man, but to lay down his life for love.
And I wonder, would I give my life?
Could I make that sacrifice?
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet, I would.
Yes I would for you.
Maybe you don’t understand
I don’t understand it all myself.
But there’s a brother on my left and another on my right.
And in his pocket just like mine, he’s got a photograph.
And they’re waiting for him back home.
And it’s weighing on my mind.
I’m not trying to be a hero;
I don’t wanna die.
But right now in this moment, you don’t think twice.
I wonder, would I give my life?
Could I make that sacrifice?
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet, I would.
Yes I would.
You don’t think about right; you don’t think about wrong.
You just do what you gotta do to defend your own.
And I’d do the same for you -
Yes I would.
I would give my life.
I would make that sacrifice.
‘Cause if it came down to it, could I take the bullet, I would.
Yes I would do it for you.
I’d do it for you.

A self-interested coalition of public-sector unions and government-financed community activists (like the young Barack Obama) has become our era’s characteristic political machine.
