"The Path to Freedom" – Battle Anthem Edition
For Those Who Fought. For Those Who Fell.
[Intro – Spoken, over drums and electric guitar build-up]
They gave their blood.
They gave their breath.
They gave us freedom…
And we’ll never forget.
[Verse 1]
Raise the flag, let it snap in the wind,
We honor the fire that burned within.
Steel in their eyes, grit in their soul,
They stood for the dream, they paid the toll.
[Verse 2]
From the trench to the jungle, mountain to sand,
They carried the fight with a rifle in hand.
They didn't ask for fame or praise—
They just charged through hell to clear our days.
[Chorus]
So stand up, shout loud, don’t bow your head,
We remember the brave, not just the dead.
For every name carved deep in stone,
We carry their thunder, we bring them home.
Raise your glass, let the silence roar—
We fight for the ones who fight no more!
[Verse 3]
They were brothers, sisters, fathers, friends,
Willing to bleed to defend this land.
We march today with pride and flame,
To show the world they didn’t die in vain.
[Verse 4]
This ain’t just a day off in May—
It’s a battle cry we shout and play.
From rolling hills to city street,
The fallen rise in every beat.
[Bridge – Shouted, then sung]
We don’t forget—we rise, we roar,
Like warriors marching through heaven’s door.
They lit the path, now we ignite—
In honor, in blood, in the fire of right!
[Final Chorus – Full power, all voices]
Stand up, shout loud, don’t bow your head,
We remember the brave, not just the dead.
For every name carved deep in stone,
We carry their thunder, we bring them home.
Raise your glass, let the silence roar—
We fight for the ones who fight no more!
[Outro – Spoken with echoing drums]
This is the path they paved in blood.
This is the anthem of the free.
We live, we fight, we remember.
