One moment, In a flash
You see them run see them dash
In the heat of the moment
The spirit of the game
You know the goal for which they aim
They rush to get to the lines and fight
They go to fight, fight for their right
In the shadows they get silent
You know that it could be violent
They load their weapons, hands on the clips
Some of them anxiously licking their lips
Because some of them, they know for their country may die
The captain stands tall and with a sigh
He sends them in while explosions rock the sky
Silently they rush into the lines
While the light of the full moon shines
The silence is broken as they start to fire
The shots ringing out like a choir
After the battle they do retire
Back to their trenches through the smoke
Winning the freedom of which their leader spoke.
Many lives were lost that day
A heavy price they had to pay
For the freedom they hold so dear
And so they mourned those who died here
They took the bodies and buried them tortured
Seeing past friends lying in the orchard
The battle, it had taken its toll
Yet the gears toward freedom continued to roll.
