For those of you that watched, you may have heard a familiar tune played as the casket was being taken out of the National Cathedral.
The music was recently made better known at the end of the movie "We Were Soldiers" and is part of the End Credits track of the film soundtrack CD.
The tune is called "The Mansions of the Lord" and a anthem based on a poem by Randall Wallace and put to music.
"To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring to the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord.
Where no mothers cry and no children weep;
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord."
The film soundtrack is composed by Nick Glennie-Smith. Randall Wallace wrote and directed "We Were Soldiers", who also wrote "Braveheart."
