A tribute to law enforcement officers across the world who sometimes face their own tombstone moment. Dedicated to friends in the profession of keeping us safe.
I am not the best of vocalists and being in a brutal Southern Hemisphere winter does not make things easier, nevertheless thanks for listening

The last rays
of the setting sun
Casting shadows

chores are done
reflecting on my

And my glass
which smells of rum
Reflects the rays

and the thought
of what Ive done
To a man with

a loaded gun

Took an oath
