Hold at All Costs  - Iced Earth-

 INTRO “BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER”

 

JUST A MILE OR SO AWAY

IS MY DEAREST FRINED IN THIS WORLD

HE WEARS THE BLUE AND I THE GREY

AND GOD IT HURTS ME SO

THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER

I GRABBED HIS HAND AND I PLEADGED

IF I EVER DRAW MY SWORD on YOU

MAY THE GOOD LORD STRIKE ME DEAD

 

THE UNION FLANK’S IN TROUBLE

TO THE ROUND TOP on THE DOUBLE

A BAD DECISION, IN SUB ORDINATION

EXPOSED OUR LINE IN A DANGEROUS WAY

 

THE BURDEN LIES UPON US

SURRENDER IS NOT AN OPTION

WE ARE THE FLANK AND IF WE BREAK

THE UNION CRUMBLES,WE COULD LOSE THE WAR

 

DOWN BELOW’S THE CARNAGE

THE REBEL’S CHARGING onWARD

PUSH THE SLAUGHTER FORWARD,

THE PEARCH ORCHARD

THROUGH THE WHEATFIELD AND DEVIL’S DEN

 

THE VALOR OF THE TEXANS

AND ALABAMA’S BEST MEN

THEY’RE UNRELENTING AND DEVASTATINGS

THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION’S CLEAR

 

CHORUS

WE’LL KNOW WHAR WE’RE MADE OF

WHEN UP AGAINST ALL ODDS WE HOLD OUR LINE

FOR THE CAUSE THAT WE SO LOVE

WE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS

WE’LL KNOW WHAT WE’RE MADE OF

WHEN OUR NATION NEEDS US,

WE’LL STAY THE COURSE

FOR THE UNION WE SO LOVE

WE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS

 

WAVE AFTER WAVE, THEY’RE COMING

THEIR POWER MUST BE WANING

WE’RE OUT OF AMMO, WE CAN’T FALL BACK, NO!

A DESPERATE MEASURE,A MEANS TO END

 

ON THEIR NEXT WAVE WE CHARGE THEM

THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION

DISCONCERT THEM, FORCE SUBMISSION

ON MY COMMAND,FIX BAYONETS!

 

CHORUS

WE’LL KNOW WHAR WE’RE MADE OF

WHEN UP AGAINST ALL ODDS WE HOLD OUR LINE

FOR THE CAUSE THAT WE SO LOVE

WE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS

WE’LL KNOW WHAT WE’RE MADE OF

WHEN OUR NATION NEEDS US,

WE’LL STAY THE COURSE

FOR THE UNION WE SO LOVE

WE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS

 

WE’LL KNOW WHAT WE’RE MADE OF

THE BURDEN LIES WITH US

WHEN UP AGINST ALL ODDS WE HOLD OUR LINE

WE CAN’T FAIL

FOR THE CAUSE THAT WE SO LOVE

WE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS

WE’LL KNOW WHAT WE’RE MADE OF

WITH COURAGE IN OUT HEARTS

WHEN OUR NATION NEEDS US,

WE’LL STAY THE COURSE

WE WON’T FAIL

FOR THE UNION WE SO LOVE

WE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS
