Blood In The Dust

As we live our lives, do we take the time
Open our eyes, to how or why
Why they choose to fight, for yours and mine
Now close your eyes, internalize
As they held the lines, as they sacrificed
They gave their lives in sands of time
They paid the price, for all our lives
We gather now, before first light

Slow down, hear their breathing
And see the blood that's in the dust
Stand to, just as they did
Believe it, they freed us of a wicked life
Lest we forget the ones we lost

As we close our eyes, and relive their fight
We hear the cry as we exit night
They paid the price, for all our lives
We gather now, before first light

Slow down, hear their breathing
And see the blood that's in the dust
Stand to, just as they did
Believe it, they freed us of a wicked life
Lest we forget the ones we lost
