War

Home of the Brave

The hero of the country
The soldier of the fight
The Excalibur of the story
And the phoenix in flight

The soldiers are paladins
The fights our salvation,
The sword is courage
And the phoenix is protection

The flag of the state
The marker of the tomb
The emblem of hate
And the badge of doom

The flag is evidence
The marker is tribulation
The emblem is a catalyst
And the badge is a profession

The water of the ocean
The sand of the dunes
The rock of the mountain
And the stream of the blue

The water is their passage
The sand is their solitude
The rock is their knoll
And the stream is their altitude

The home of the brave
The freedom of the land
The pain of the brothers
And the prayers in hand.

The home in our heart
The freedom of our mind
The pain in our love
And the prayers are allied.
