For the soldiers that never came home
I challenge mankind as a whole,
to deliver unto me a losing hand,
I challenge unto man,
to defeat me as I am,
I believe, so there for I fight,
not for myself, but for the right,
for the right to think and to live as I choose,
to die for freedom means I cannot lose,
to live in fear I cannot except,
to die in the shadows of a cowards reject,
I will die with a gun in my hand,
screaming victory and freedom for the land,
It is not death that I choose,
but your rights I will not allow them to refuse,
In freedoms strife lives have been lost,
In victory remember the cost.
