 From the Dfallen row on Arow

 But he Dain't got much to Asay

 He's forgGotten what his town Dlooks like

 The Asmell of Gdeath is all Aaround D A

 He dGreams of the blue AtDlantic

 To Aonce aDgain be hoGmewaDrd bAound

AMany Dsnares lay Gin Dtheir Apath

 But Dtheir struggle they saw as righteous

AThe fought with Dmight and Gstuck Dwith Awrath
