[00:00.00]Prelude
[00:9.95]The shot heard 'round the world shook the earth with great resound,
[00:15.00]lanterns lit, the riders fled, to warn the farms and towns.
[00:18.95]The call to arms united them, in grim determination
[00:23.97]they vowed to see the Eagle born, and made their Declaration.
[00:28.98]Honor-bound and bred, they stood as one, in their defiance:
[00:32.99]a Continental Army raised on common man's alliance.
[00:37.96]For Liberty, the fire, in the hearts of men did forge
[00:42.94]the will to break their shackles free…
[00:45.00]and shape them into swords…
[01:55.96]I am the blood that boils in the heart of the beast
[01:58.98]I'm a killing machine, with a hunger deep
[02:01.97]I'll scorch the earth with a mighty shriek, and a million full metal jacket teeth
[02:05.95]You better believe it, when the boot comes down the blood I spill on the battleground
[02:11.97]will soak the earth until the wicked drown,
[02:13.95]in the death I deal when the hate comes out.
[02:15.99]Born to the beating of the drums of war,
[02:18.97]shaped in the fire at Valley Forge,
[02:19.98]made hard in the waters of a beach I tore from the Devil's claws in '44.
[02:25.96]Thunder crack and the enemy dies,
[02:26.98]when the barrel spits, the fire flies,
[02:29.97]aim's on point at killing time, and I kill with a heart like arctic ice.
[02:34.96]I am a soldier and I'm marching on
[02:44.93]I am a warrior and this is my song
[02:53.95]My boots are the beat, and the rhythm I tread
[02:56.97]shake the ground like a thunderhead
[02:58.98]rain down in a hail of fire and lead like a reverie runnin'through my bead
[03:03.99]Here,where the legends live and die,
[03:05.96]where the Eagles scream and the Reaper hides,
[03:07.94]Hell can't stop me, the Devil tried…and I killed him twice in '45.
[03:13.95]Come to the nightmare, come to me,
[03:15.97]I'll grind your bones in the crushing teeth,
[03:17.99]served to the swine that come to feast,
[03:19.95]on the stink of the fear and the tears you'll weep.
[03:22.98]I'll flood the earth in a sea of brass,
[03:25.92]and watch you burn in the fire's wrath,
[03:27.93]pray to the devil that damned you last,
[03:29.98]the shadow of death is the one I cast.
[03:32.97]I am a soldier and I'm marching on
[03:37.96]I am a warrior and this is my song
[03:42.98]I am the fire, the sword and the gun,
[03:47.98]I am a warrior and this is my song.
[03:54.97]Patton: "Those of you who have not been at war…do not realize…
[04:01.96]what those of us who have been at war have done for you…
[04:06.97]with our blood and your money."
[04:11.98]Patton: "I want you to remember the sacrifices these men have made…
[04:15.97]must not be in vain,
[04:18.98]damn it, its no fun to say to men that you love…
[04:21.96]'go out and get killed',
[04:23.97]but we've had to say it…and by God, they have gone…and they have won."
[04:28.99]Now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief,
[04:32.97]and the least of me is still out of your reach…
[04:34.98]the killin' machine's comin' out to feed,
[04:36.96]on the lead and the fire and the gasoline.
[04:39.98]Bound by the blood of the ones who've died as well as the warriors at my side
[04:43.97]feel no fear, know my pride:
[04:46.98]for God and Country I'll end your life.
[04:49.96]I am a soldier and I'm marching on
[04:53.99]I am a warrior and this is my song
[04:59.00]I am the fire, the sword and the gun,
[05:04.00]I am a warrior and this is my song.
[05:08.94]A warfighter, I will keep marching on,
[05:13.95]I am a warrior and this is my song.
[05:17.97]I am the mighty, a million as one,
[05:23.15]I am a warrior and this is my song.
[06:10.00]Epilogue
[06:15.98]They stood against an empire, born a thousand years ago,
[06:20.96]but liberty or death, no less, what every last man chose.
[06:24.97]They fought and died for better lives, uncertain what may come,
[06:29.99]as lions on the battlefield, 'til freedom had been won.
[06:34.95]Though cannon balls and musket rounds, explosions, cold and fire,
[06:39.07]would challenge their reslove, they raised their banner ever higher.
[06:44.00]And when the dust had settled, and the fighting finally ceased,
[06:50.00]an eagle lit out from the ash, and to this day, flies free.
