My Battle Cry by Jake Holland

Echoes of the past, ringing loud and clear

Standing fierce, no fear, no retreat, I persevere

Bodies on the ground, shadows of the pain

Snipers’ silent threat, mortar rounds like rain

Bullets flying past, chaos in the air

Every breath I take, I’m fighting for my prayer

Brothers lost in the fire, memories that sting

Silent screams inside me, what this war did bring

But I breathe, I stand, my resolve is steel

This is my battle cry, I won’t kneel

This is my fight, my war, my song

I will not quit, I am strong

Facing demons of yesteryear

This is my battle cry, I have no fear

Never surrender, through the storm and rain

Warrior’s spirit, I will remain

You cannot break me, I will rise

With fire inside, I touch the skies

When all is said and done, I stand tall and free

My battle cry echoes for eternity

Free from the shadows, breaking chains anew

This is my battle cry, forever true
