Patriotism
Remember

This is the touch that makes your skin crawl as we brush in the damp night 
As I march up beside you in this stale dismal fright 
The sweat that drips from my chin, as I walk this land free from sin 
No worry for I have my brother in arms next to me, my closest of kin 
We stomp as you hear us roar as we’re coming to your front door… 
There should be no doubt; this is our time to settle the score 
You chant, you rave, just to find yourself in a grave 
This is our land that you tried to enslave, this violence you gave 
We our the strong, we our the right, we will pace all night 
We will bloody our knuckles and scar our knees, you’ll mourne the sight 
With tattered skin and battered bones, there is no fear when this flag is flown 
Each and every time you threaten our kind, you will see our nation defined 
Blood, misery, and pain the fallen soldiers still proclaim 
There is no greater fame than that of the American name 
The eagle flies in every Americans eye, now I dare you to try and defy 
This land of the free and home of the brave as you see us in the night sky
