• gun fire crackles across the land,
    as Americans are overwhelmed by the British band.
    low on ammo, high on hope,
    determined to hold the bloody slope.
    Neither side won,
    the battle never done.
    Americans remaining tough,
    no matter how hard,
    no matter how rough.
    ammo low, mortalities high,
    America's flag still flies.
    The bravest soldiers in the land,
    there to make their final stand.
    A suicide mission, to be sure,
    Yet the Americans didn't deter.
    hundreds lost their lives that day,
    their sacrifice still remembered today.
    fighting for our independence,
    gaining our eternal remembrance.
    The Americans retreat, pulling back,
    from the vicious British attack.
    Against those odds so severe,
    the Americans came ever so near.
    Brave men and women lost their lives,
    fighting to stop oncoming British hives.
    We'll never forget those costs of freedom,
    brought to us by the lives of others.
