Shadow Gallery - With Honor lyrics

Guns slung low and taught Iron fists re-grip and tighten down Pressing hard and close Scanning eyes alive, search all around Unleash Hell and fire Raining chaos, crashing in The screaming in the street, calling far away I taste the shock The perfume of this war Far away - Far away I stand and dream of going home Far away - Far away I lay down in this mess I'm scared and brave as stone Foreign lands of sinking sands So strange and unfamiliar And Holden to the code of honor Bound to defend We are strong Believe the warrior inside Won't turn from With honor, we will not turn away Don't forget about God's reason to be It's all arranged Predestining The ancient call To one and all Take arms and go Don't you forget about it Don't ever set your mind to roam Desert wind blow hot save for the night time Turn your gaze to the mirage A single word can't describe the ruins And you're burdened with the questions now at hand They turn to dust Sorrowful, the dirge The song The wailing of the wounded No respite from the battle, at the Edge of the fray Night is falling There's been funeral pyres Been burning on for lifetimes With honor, we will not walk away When Consolation wears a hidden smile (Hidden smile) I erase my yesterdays (All of them - every one) And all my complaints fade into gray (Fade to gray - fade, fading) My faith aligned with my fate (My spirit soars - I see your face) Over again I set my aim To the place that I call Home Tension never lets Always on the edge and on the guard Never dream of sleep Wayward flares illuminate the dark Hold the line and run Random sniper fire sends shots I'm hurdling the snares Trying to cripple me Against a bloodshot sky And watching moon Far away - Far away We hunker down and disappear Far away - Far away In black, we're waiting: For the daybreak And the earth shake For sunrise Heroes bleed the same as you When smitten with the combat You swallow fury With your every breath Every breath Set the flag and carry on And carry on into the unknown With honor we will not walk away Home some day For Eric D
