The Birth of a Star

This wall stands stronger Stronger than any man Yet so difficult It was to defend Completely out matched Thunder came in the dark But those on the wall Put up one hell of a fight The wall never ended Nor was it straight Yet inside those men Had doom as fate Those who are left With nothing to lose Immortally fight As if death they choose After days and nights Sleep came to none Fate had came At the rise of the sun Heroes are made In this very spot This place where our ancestors So valiantly fought And fight they did Taking far more than given Unstoppable sit the man Who is cause driven Surrender they could Lives may have been spared Where would we be today? If our men had been scared Heroes and legends Were made at this spot This spot where our ancestors Oh, so valiantly fought A tribute to those at the Alamo
