Here's one for any brother Paratroopers out there, and you skydivers
Paratrooper Theme Song
Blood Upon The Risers (To the Tune of: Glory Glory Hallelujah)
Chorus
Gory, Glory what a helluva way to die
Gory, Glory what a helluva way to die
Gory, Glory what a helluva way to die
And he aint gonna jump no more
Is everybody happy cried the sergeant looking up
Our hero meekly answered yes and then they stood him up
He leaped right out nto the blast, his static line unhooked
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
He counted loud, he counted long, he waited for the shock
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt that awful drop
The silk from his reserve fell out and werapped about his legs
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
The risers wrapped around his neck, connectors cracked his dome
Suspension lines were tied in knotsssssssssssssssss around his skinny bones
His canopy became a shroud, as hurtled to the ground
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind
He thought about the girl at home, the one he'd left behind
He thought aobut the medics and wondered what they'd find
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
The ambulance was on the spot and jeeps were running wild
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled
For it had been a week or so since last a chute had failed
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
He hit the ground the sound of SPLAT, the blood went spurting high
His comrades were heard to say, "what a helluva way to die"
He lay there rolling round in all the wetness of his gore
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
There was blood upon his risers, there was brains upon his chute
Intestines were a danglin' from his Paratroopers suit
They poured him from his helmet, they pured him from his boots
And he aint gonna jump no more
Chorus
Chorus
