No glory, only pride
You played your part in a theatre where so many died
On foreign soil, a strange language
Memories of the old country in your heart
Again and again you took to the air
I can barely imagine your bravery
The noise of the engines and guns
If you were afraid, I understand
Then to return to find your best friend gave his life
The hollow victory, the pain
Then the end came and you could return to your wife
Victory, but no glory… only pride.
