The Last Stand of the Dead Men

Lyrics

[Verse] They rose from the earth where the shadows grow deep With lungs full of poison but promises to keep A ragged brigade Their eyes burned like coal Carrying the weight of a thousand lost souls [Prechorus] The drums of war They beat so slow But the dead men march where the living won’t go [Chorus] They bled They burned But they never fell The dead men’s charge rang the enemy’s knell Through the smoke Through the pain They said again This is the stand of the dead men [Verse 2] The air was acid The ground turned to ash Yet they moved like thunder A desperate crash Bones and resolve held their line of steel The kind of courage you can’t ever conceal [Bridge] They fought for the children They fought for the land With broken bodies They made their stand No prayers No mercy No turning back They were ghosts in the fire Leading the attack [Chorus] They bled They burned But they never fell The dead men’s charge rang the enemy’s knell Through the smoke Through the pain They said again This is the stand of the dead men
