Hallowed Ground Bleeds
The prideful passion practiced and prolonged in fertile life,
Rejects all calls to wasted whimsy in this willful world.
Aware redundancies occur with suffering and strife
Some still display with honor our great nation's flag unfurled.
There's glory in the glory of a greater guarantee,
Described in dedications made by immigrants of old
Who's longing for a little more of bright-light liberty
Was shared in perfect passion by the patriotic bold.
And we begin each year with brand new challenges to face
With seismic salutation to grand stories yet untold
When even greater gifts of glory bind the human race
Where beauty of such brotherhood shines bright upon the fold.
To timelessness of spirit add the courage to engage
As part of all our sisters and our brothers standing strong
Against those evil tyrants who run empires filled with rage
We fight with every ounce of might ingrained within our song.
We sing the songs and serenades to lift our fighting soul,
Symbolic of our heroes and the hallowed ground that bleeds
With blood of men and women who have died but are made whole
When heaven's golden warriors cast down perfect planting seeds.
Oh glory to this nation and the citizens who dwell
Within her borders beautiful together unified.
As tyranny has tyrants tethered deep inside their hell
So freedom spawning liberty has mankind glorified.
Let's take the steps we need to make all eulogies in war
As rare as any politician's honesty is rare.
Then hopefully the populus will soon learn to adore
An evolution revolution men of peace can wear.
