|
Guns slung low and taught |
|
Iron fists re-grip and tighten down |
|
Pressing hard and close |
|
Scanning eyes alive, search all around |
|
Unleash Hell and fire |
|
Raining chaos, crashing in |
|
The screaming in the street, calling far away |
|
I taste the shock |
|
The perfume of this war |
|
Far away - Far away |
|
I stand and dream of going home |
|
Far away - Far away |
|
I lay down in this mess |
|
I'm scared and brave as stone |
|
Foreign lands of sinking sands |
|
So strange and unfamiliar |
|
And Holden to the code of honor |
|
Bound to defend |
|
We are strong |
|
Believe the warrior inside |
|
Won't turn from |
|
With honor, we will not turn away |
|
Don't forget about God's reason to be |
|
It's all arranged |
|
Predestining |
|
The ancient call |
|
To one and all |
|
Take arms and go |
|
Don't you forget about it |
|
Don't ever set your mind to roam |
|
Desert wind blow hot save for the night time |
|
Turn your gaze to the mirage |
|
A single word can't describe the ruins |
|
And you're burdened with the questions now at hand |
|
They turn to dust |
|
Sorrowful, the dirge |
|
The song |
|
The wailing of the wounded |
|
No respite from the battle, at the |
|
Edge of the fray |
|
Night is falling |
|
There's been funeral pyres |
|
Been burning on for lifetimes |
|
With honor, we will not walk away |
|
When Consolation wears a hidden smile |
|
(Hidden smile) |
|
I erase my yesterdays |
|
(All of them - every one) |
|
And all my complaints fade into gray |
|
(Fade to gray - fade, fading) |
|
My faith aligned with my fate |
|
(My spirit soars - I see your face) |
|
Over again I set my aim |
|
To the place that I call |
|
Home |
|
Tension never lets |
|
Always on the edge and on the guard |
|
Never dream of sleep |
|
Wayward flares illuminate the dark |
|
Hold the line and run |
|
Random sniper fire sends shots |
|
I'm hurdling the snares |
|
Trying to cripple me |
|
Against a bloodshot sky |
|
And watching moon |
|
Far away - Far away |
|
We hunker down and disappear |
|
Far away - Far away |
|
In black, we're waiting: |
|
For the daybreak |
|
And the earth shake |
|
For sunrise |
|
Heroes bleed the same as you |
|
When smitten with the combat |
|
You swallow fury |
|
With your every breath |
|
Every breath |
|
Set the flag and carry on |
|
And carry on into the unknown |
|
With honor we will not walk away |
|
Home some day |
|
