The Battle of Marathon - Fire Team Charlie

On this day we march towards the sun

Knowing this day could be our last

On this fold of dreams, we sow our prayers

And harvest the have we need

Tomorrow will be a better day

At least we can say tomorrow will be a better day

The beast appears!

Thunder of a million footsteps engulf me like fire

Face to face!

I look upon my enemy…

Tired and torn i draw my sword

Surge into the battle

We’ve won the day!

Many have died, few remain

A blanket of red covers all i see

We turn away

Back to our homes we struggle

On broken limbs and broken hearts

If they want blood, then they’ll get blood…

Nothing stands between me and the home i love

At least we can say today is better than yesterday
