A Nation in my Veins

Lyrics

Verse 1)
From Lexington’s shot heard far and wide,
To burning sands where shadows hide,
They called on us, and we stood tall,
For freedom’s name, we gave it all.From muddy trenches to jungles deep,
Where brothers are lost, and mothers weep,
Through every storm, we bore the pain,
America’s blood runs in our veins.(Chorus)
So raise a glass to the warriors’ line,
Crimson rivers, a hill we’ll climb.
We bled and fought, though hearts are torn,
We’d do it again; it’s why we’re born.
Through betrayal’s burn and leaders’ lies,
Our flag still waves in endless skies.(Verse 2)
The sand blew cold on that final flight,
Thirteen souls taken in the night,
Cowards whispered, turned away,
But we stood our ground, come what may.Helpless eyes at the airport gates,
Dreams crushed by a twist of fate,
We carried them when no one cared,
In every step, their hope we shared.(Chorus)
So raise a glass to the warriors’ line,
Crimson rivers, a hill we’ll climb.
We bled and fought, though hearts are torn,
We’d do it again; it’s why we’re born.
Through betrayal’s burn and leaders’ lies,
Our flag still waves in endless skies.(Bridge)
Don’t call it for nothing—our lives paid the toll,
Our brothers still haunt us, they live in our soul.
But this land we hold dear, from sea to shining sea,
We'll fight for her freedom so all can stay free.(Verse 3)
Now vets look back, and hearts feel used,
By suits who wield agendas bruised.
But pride runs deeper than their sin,
We fought for the soul that lies within.So don’t mistake wounds for coward’s pain,
Each scar’s a story, each tear’s a name.
We’d die a thousand deaths once more,
To guard the land that we adore.(Final Chorus)
So raise a glass to the warriors’ line,
Crimson rivers, a hill we’ll climb.
We bled and fought, though hearts are torn,
We’d do it again; it’s why we’re born.
Through betrayal’s burn and leaders’ lies,
Our flag still waves in endless skies.(Outro)
This country’s spirit will never fade,
No matter the cost, no matter who’s betrayed.
From revolution to the mountains of sand,
Forever we’re bound, united we’ll stand.
