A BROTHERHOOD OF SHADOWS
You existed in shadow, never to see the light.
You existed in a dark world so that others would live to see the Light.
You were unknown and your deeds unrecorded.
You Died in the Shadow World you lived in.
You made "Bright Light" when only darkness existed.
You lived in Shadows; you were whispers only.
You were words of mystery, you were "Recondo";
you were "Shining Brass", you were "Bright Light";
you were "Old Blue" and you were the Shadows.
Your life, a Shadow that none may know.
Your life, a Mystery to all who want to know;
Shadows in the night and Shadows in the Day,
Shadows never to know the warmth of the Sun.
Shadow Soldiers whom only "Charlie Mike"
when called home to cross that last border.
Shadow Soldiers whom only "Charlie Mike"
after they have marked your way.
. Soldiers of the Shadows - for all Eternity.
