From the recording BEST OF ROBERT VALOR VOL I
Lyrics
In the land of the brave, where the freedom was born,
A shadow comes creeping, through the silence of the morn.
Promises forgotten, on a paper trail of lies,
We’re living in confusion, in a world that cries.
Drones in the sky, have you seen them fly?
While the people below, just wonder why?
The Constitution's breaking, as the people stand and stare,
A rhetoric of power, but justice—nowhere.
Oh, we’re on the eve of destruction, can’t you hear the sound?
With leaders full of corruption, tearing freedoms down.
We’re staring down the barrel of a weaponized opinion,
Oh, America, oh America, is this where we begin again?
Whispers turn to shouts, as the nation divides,
With the Army on the streets, standing guard by our sides.
They’re saying it’s for safety, but we feel the chains,
Rights denied like a river, running deep with pain.
Watch the signs on the corners, see the anger flare,
With every victory shouted, they just don’t care.
We’re caught in the grip of a twisted game,
Where trust is just a memory, and freedom’s fair game.
Oh, we’re on the eve of destruction, can’t you hear the sound?
With leaders full of corruption, tearing freedoms down.
We’re staring down the barrel of a weaponized opinion,
Oh, America, oh America, is this where we begin again?
And in the shadows lurk, the fear of what’s ahead,
Nuclear shadows dancing, words that have been said.
Will we question the power, or kneel at the throne?
In this theater of madness, will we stand alone?
The bombs keep falling in the silence of our night,
As families fall in darkness, will we rise to fight?
An echo of the 60s, a call we can’t ignore,
History’s repeating, on this political shore.
So lift your voice in anger, let the truth explode,
For the sake of tomorrow, break the heavy load.
Together we’ll fight the powers that strain,
We’re standing on the edge, through the fire and the rain.
We're on the eve of destruction, but we can turn this around,
For the heart of America still beats strong and sound.
