Until We Need Sacrifice No More
We will stand side by side, shore to shore.
At the ready to protect our Nations flag.
Until we need sacrifice no more.
We have been, at times, shaken to our core.
Yet, in courage, we have never lagged.
We will stand side by side, shore to shore
as long as terrorists knock at our door.
We will scour every crevice and crag,
until we need sacrifice no more.
From every civilian, pride does pour,
for those in uniform and dog tags.
We will stand side by side, shore to shore,
Remembering it was our fore Fathers that swore,
tyranny from its pedestal we would drag,
until we need sacrifice no more.
Rattle our cage, hear the Eagle roar.
We will not be anyones punching bag
We will stand side by side, shore to shore,
Untill we need sacrifice no more.
