Operate Lyrics

Veteran flags are so hard to fold these days...
Well there's rain on my face but it's already glazed.
Operate. open up my chest pull my heart out and operate
General danny, take a deep breath and end this day.
21 gun salute; oh I wish it'd wake you.
There's a peace that's in death that you can't feel in life
I'd give you all of my days to get some peace tonight.
So won't you give me some peace to put my heart at ease
With a couple of shells and a piccolo straight mute.
