With Honor

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 let's

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
