The Final Reveille

Steel boots march

Dust in the air

Flags wave high

No time to spare

Heartbeat pounding

No room for fear

The cost of freedom

Always near

They rise

They fall

They give it all

Under the weight of the eagle's call

Gone too soon but standing tall

Honor in the ashes

They never crawl

Letters home

Ink smeared with pain

Promises made

Some never explained

Cold nights under a blood-red moon

Dreams of peace

Gone too soon

Who will carry the torch?

Who will bear the flame?

They rise

They fall

They give it all

Under the weight of the eagle's call

Gone too soon but standing tall

Honor in the ashes

They never crawl

Bullets fly

They hold the line

In the darkest hour

They shine

Brothers

Sisters

Side by side

In their sacrifice

We confide
