Work Text:
Seeley don't be a Hero
by JustJeanette
The boarding call it sounded out so loud
Temperance stood, she turned around
I looked across and there I saw Seeley
In Ranger greys to Temp he came
And with his hand a reaching for her
His friend and his partner oh so true
From where I stood, I thought she was sighing'
And in muffled words I heard her say
"Seeley, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back and stay in my life"
And as Seeley started to go, Temp said "Keep your pretty head lo-o-ow"
"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back to me"
The Ranger greys were trapped on a hillside
Afgan insurgents all around
And Seeley cried "You've got to hang on, boys"
"You've got to hold this piece a'ground"
"Cover me; I'll take out their leader"
"Break their will and end this fight"
And Seeley carefully he was aiming
Forgettin' all the words she said
She said
"Seeley, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back and stay in my life"
And as Seeley started to go, Temp said "Keep your pretty head lo-o-ow"
"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back to me"
I heard Temperance, she got a letter
That told how Seeley died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away
