Hold At All Costs — текст песни (Iced Earth)

Just a mile or so away
Is my dearest friend in this world.
He wears the Blue and I the Grey
And god it hurts me so
The last time we were together I grabbed his hand and I pledged
If I ever draw my sword on you may the good lord strike me dead

The union flank`s in trouble
To the round top on the double
A bad decision, insubordination
Exposed our line in a dangerous way

The burden lies upon us
Surrender is not an option
We are the flank, and if we break, the union crumbles we could lose the war

Down below`s the carnage
The rebels charging onward
Push the slaughter forward, the peach orchard.
Through the wheat field and devil`s den

The valour of the Texans
And Alabama`s best men
They`re Unrelenting
And Devastating
The last full measure of devotion`s clear

Chorus
We`ll know what we`re made of.
When up against all odds we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all cost
We`ll know what we`re made of
When our nation needs us
We`ll stay the course, for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs!

Wave after wave, they are coming
Their power must be waning!
We`re out of ammo, we can`t fall back, no !
A desperate measure, a means to end

On their next wave we charge at them
There is no other option
Disconcert them, force submission, on my command, fix bayonets!

Repeat Chorus

We`ll know what we`re made of
The burden lies with us
When up against al odds we hold our line
We can`t fail
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all costs
We`ll know what we`re made of
With courage in our hearts
When our nation needs us, We`ll stay the course
We won`t fail
For the union we so love
We must hold at all cost!!
