Sweeping vista
Lifeless plane,
Victory hollow
Heart of pain.

Land mass strewn
friend and foe,
Lie forever
Battle throes.

Sand storm rising
Sinai beckons,
A soul asunder
Wanders, reckons.
.
Patience try
Today on high,
Was it worth it
An anguished sigh.

A rising wave
A tidal crest,
We won the war
We lost our best.

Victory sweet
A price so steep,
Oh please dear G-d
My brother keep.
 
Sinai captured
Fires cease,
Dead secure
A lasting peace.

Will our neighbors
See the light,
Will they give up
The endless fight.

Your loss protected
The lives of others,
A grateful country
Sisters brothers.

You gave your life
You formed a nation,
A sacrifice
For generations.

In death you serve
We cry forever,
We live for you
But see you never.

Your body broken
A missile a mine,
Your soul complete
A sacred shrine.

A burning coal
A glowing ember,
Eternal hero
We remember.
