For Morgan & Patrick.
We held the frontlines
Never turning round
We swore we'd never fall
As the rain came pouring down
A cold western breeze
Carries a freedom song
and taste of blood in the air,
we knew we'd never go back home
(chorus)
But our Faith is strong
And our Blood runs deeper
I'll never leave your side, know who I am tonight,
My Brother's Keeper
Fate brought us together
In the darkest of times
Our grip never faltered on the flag
as we laid down our lives
Now the challenge before us
The greatest we've faced
Twisting our beliefs, burning our cross,
Spitting in God's grace
(chorus)
Then I felt it in my side,
body froze, blood ran cold,
Your face gained a lifetime of fear
as you went from young man to old
They came charging up the hill
Atleast a thousand men strong
The screams broke a world of silence,
I knew we didn't have too long
(chorus)
As I lay down to rest,
I'm reminded of the days
When we were young and undisputed,
memories they cannot take away
So go easy my friend,
May your heart fill with pride
As I embrace the light, close my eyes,
I'll be waiting by your side
(chorus)
