Underneath the desert sun
They bid my brother's blood to run
Many miles away
Hell has come today
Fire raining from the sky
See the face of fear asking one last time
Let me get home safe
Before it's too late
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
Deep within the castle walls
So many grievers funeral songs
Echo in their sleep
Ode to memories
The sacrifice the flesh and blood
But for a promised land that may not be won
Let us not forget
The hero laid to rest
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
And they gave it all, a price we can't ignore
If they're hoping what they died for
For every hero born from every family torn
We will honor you forever more
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
They gave it all
