Folded Flags

[Verse 1]
I lived the harshest life, walked darkest nights
True veteran, aim, fire, arms precise
Lawless types we took war advice
Bomb ignites, all for the stars and stripes
With cost and price that exceeds the norm
Stay strong and fight, for the peace and calm
Lost with ego, struggling to see the dawn
North Korea or jungles of Vietnam
Squadron leader, the war drum I'm beating on
For fallen soldiers, all my marines is gone
Indeed, lick shots in the breeze for 'em
21 gun salute, couple trees for 'em

[Chorus x2]
And this is veteran's day
Death before dishonor, remember to say
No man left behind though you led us astray
But regardless we celebrating veteran's day

[Verse 2]
I travelled across the frontier
Weapon slung near, vision unclear from desert sun glare
Overcome fear, navigate fortresses
You're unprepared, I calculate coordinates
We're warriors, it's a blaze of glory
Read glorious pages of our story
I record this for those that came before me
Lost souls exposed to navy and army
Traders swarmed me, used my accomplices
I slid surely and move like reconnaisance
And now to flee maneuver through the ominous
The powers that be still subduing the populace
We conquerers, on an expedition
Check precision, mind like a weapon system
Marx, veteran from the death division
Forward march onto the next mission

[Chorus x2]
And this is veteran's day
Death before dishonor, remember to say
No man left behind though you led us astray
But regardless we celebrating veteran's day
