Sweeping vista
Lifeless plane
Victory hollow
Heart of pain

Land mass strewn
friend and foe
Lie forever
Battle throe

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
