Oh the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning
|
Leaving flames and death and chaos in our streets
|
In the middle of this fiery hell brave heroes fell
|
|
In the skies of Pennsylvania on a plane bound for destruction
|
With the devil and his angels at the wheel
|
They never reached their target on the ground
|
Brave heroes brought it down
|
|
Chorus:
|
This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause
|
I will do what my country asks of me
|
Make any sacrifice
|
We¡¯ll pay whatever price
|
So the children of tomorrow can be free
|
Lead on red, white and blue
|
And we will follow you until we win the final victory
|
God help us do our best we will not slack or rest
|
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
|
|
Now the winds of war are blowing and there¡¯s no way of knowing
|
Where this bloody path we¡¯re traveling will lead
|
We must follow till the end
|
Or face it all again
|
|
And make no mistake about it, write it, preach it, talk it, shout it
|
Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas
|
The blood of innocence and shame
|
Will not be shed in vain
|
|
Chorus:
|
This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause
|
I will do what my country asks of me
|
Make any sacrifice
|
We¡¯ll pay whatever price
|
So the children of tomorrow can be free
|
Lead on red, white and blue
|
And we will follow you until we win the final victory
|
God help us do our best we will not slack or rest
|
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
|
|
God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest
|
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
