๐ Lyrics
The shot heard 'round the world shook the earth with great resound
Lanterns lit, the riders fled, to warn the farms and towns
The call to arms united them, in grim determination
They vowed to see the Eagle born, and made their Declaration
Honor-bound and bred, they stood as one in their defiance
A Continental Army raised on common man's alliance
For liberty, the fire, in the hearts of men, did forge
The will to break their shackles free, and shape them into swords
I am the blood that boils in the heart of the beast, I'm a killing machine with a hunger deep
I'll scorch the earth with a mighty shriek and a million full metal jacket teeth
You better believe it, when the boot comes down, the blood I spill on the battleground
Will soak the earth until the wicked drown, in the death I deal when the hate comes out
Born to the beating of the drums of war, shaped in the fire at Valley Forge
Made hard in the waters of a beach I tore from the Devil's claws in '44
Thunder crack and the enemy dies, when the barrel spits, the fire flies
Aim's on point at killing time, and I kill with a heart like arctic ice
I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
My boots are the beat and the rhythm I tread: shake the ground like a thunderhead
Rain down in a hail of fire and lead like a reverie runnin' through my head
Here where the legends live and die, where the eagles scream, and the reaper hides
Hell can't stop me, the Devil tried, and I killed him twice in '45
Come to the nightmare, come to me, I'll grind your bones in the crushing teeth
Served to the swine that come to feast on the stink of the fear and the tears you'll weep
I'll flood the earth in a sea of brass, and watch you burn in the fire's wrath
Pray to the devil that damned you last, the Shadow of Death is the one I cast
I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
I am the fire, the sword and the gun, I am a warrior and this is my song
Now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief, and the least of me's still out of your reach
The killing machine's coming out to feed on the lead and the fire and the gasoline
Bound by the blood of the ones who've died, as well as the warriors at my side
Feel no fear, know my pride: for God and country I'll end your life
I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
I am the fire, the sword and the gun, I am a warrior and this is my song
A warfighter, I will keep marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
I am the mighty, a million as one, I am a warrior and this is my song
Epilogue
They stood against an empire, born a thousand years ago
But "liberty or death", no less, what every last man chose
They fought and died, for better lives, uncertain what may come
As lions on the battlefield, 'til freedom had been won
Though cannon balls, and musket rounds, explosions, cold and fire
Would challenge their resolve, they raised their Banner ever higher
And when the dust had settled, and the fighting finally ceased
An Eagle lit out from the ash...and to this day, flies free
Lanterns lit, the riders fled, to warn the farms and towns
The call to arms united them, in grim determination
They vowed to see the Eagle born, and made their Declaration
Honor-bound and bred, they stood as one in their defiance
A Continental Army raised on common man's alliance
For liberty, the fire, in the hearts of men, did forge
The will to break their shackles free, and shape them into swords
I am the blood that boils in the heart of the beast, I'm a killing machine with a hunger deep
I'll scorch the earth with a mighty shriek and a million full metal jacket teeth
You better believe it, when the boot comes down, the blood I spill on the battleground
Will soak the earth until the wicked drown, in the death I deal when the hate comes out
Born to the beating of the drums of war, shaped in the fire at Valley Forge
Made hard in the waters of a beach I tore from the Devil's claws in '44
