The Fall of Corregidor
by
Cpl. Conrad Russell
(Fepow)
The order came to strike all arms
That tragic and blood-soaked day.
A bell might have tolled for the island
But death has a silent way.
We felt that our souls had left us
Back in that screaming hell.
We stood with only our bodies
A drained and empty shell.
The silence that fell upon us
Was a strange unearthly pain.
I'm sure that God in Heaven
Will help us to live again.
