He woke up in the middle of the night
He could hear the echoes of the fight
He would always check his scope before he'd load his magazine

He tried to fight the fire in his head
And fought to keep the focus sharp instead
He never knew he'd ever be
A hero at 19

It's time to go
He's on his own
No comprimise
No questions why
Never say die

[Refrão]
On the field of shattered dreams
They rise to pull themselves together
In this land of liberty
They wear their purple hearts forever

He wet his feet to wash the field away
He said a prayer behind the barricade
He looked out on the desert
As they rode on down the road

There wasn't anyone he'd know retreat
When 27th vanished in the heat
They never knew that they were going down
Not going home

No comprimise
No questions why
Never say die

No comprimise
No questions why
Never say die
