From the recording AMERICAN VETERANS
Lyrics
[Intro]
(Guitar riff)
We stand today, in shadows cast,
A brotherhood built to forever last.
[Verse 1]
From the battlefields, we marched as one,
Under a banner, we embraced the sun,
Sworn to defend the land we love,
But now I watch as the world gets tough.
[Chorus]
AMERICAN VETERANS, we took the stand,
United in courage, in this troubled land,
Don’t forget the oath, don’t let it fade,
Be brave in the night when hopes are laid.
[Verse 2]
But shadows creep where light used to shine,
Some betrayed their duty, crossed that line,
Veiled in deceit by the poison they preach,
Forgetting our bond that no one can breach.
[Chorus]
AMERICAN VETERANS, we took the stand,
United in courage, in this troubled land,
Don’t deny your mission, stand tall, be proud,
Through the storm and the whispers so loud.
[Bridge]
They hurt our brothers, they hurt our shield,
On the street where justice once was revealed,
They stormed the heart, our Capitol’s pride,
From oath to betrayal, deception they’ve tried.
[Verse 3]
Yet here we still stand, with honor and grace,
Refuse to be drawn into that dark place,
Remember the duty, the words we once swore,
Be brave for the love of the land we adore.
[Chorus]
AMERICAN VETERANS, we took the stand,
United in courage, in this troubled land,
Don’t forget the oath, don’t let it fade,
Be brave in the night when hopes are laid.
[Outro]
So take up the banner, let courage unfold,
With honor and heart, let your story be told,
Through thunder and silence, we’ll carry the flame,
AMERICAN VETERANS, we’re one and the same.
