This moment as the clock ticks rocks keep rolling
its like those hands wont move fast enough but yet they never stop
How come we can always see the top but when we go hard or at least try they tell us do or die

so we do but they expect suicide for us to quit give up subside
Still though we strive push on and out until we push our face to cry and show no emotions no comply
Forget compromise we are the wise

dressed camouflage disguise pierce into their eyes
Read their souls see where they've been can we be friends
just another heart burned filled deep down within

That's how we knew deep inside to keep moving and living our lives
full of surprises and making our limit the skies
Blue white and red hang our heads for the dead you cry but we smile instead


we understand red... we understand red
Blue white and red... those hearts that bled

don't hang your head smile instead
Red red


we understand red... we understand red
Blue white and red... all those hearts that bled
don't hang your head but smile instead

Red red red red

Fallen fathers should never be compared as such

Though they might have seen the ground just look up
Close to touch a whisper away looking down on earth
watching partners risk their lives with child at birth

Hundreds of miles of oceans might keep them separated
But that's what keeps they're heart dedicated motivated
To protect and serve traditions carry on

Though some might be dead and gone
Just know that nothing was done wrong


Road blocks land of sand u turning
Lights flashing loud noises bombs bursting
Soldiers cursing children crying hearts hurting

It keeps them thirsty for more to settle the score
On war no more no more make this my last tour
Not giving up but they don't wanna burry one more of their boys

A soldiers hardest time re up redeploy
But yet when returned we swear that has to be the sweetest joy


we understand red... we understand red
Blue white and red... all those hearts that bled
don't hang your head smile instead


we understand red... we understand red
Blue white and red... all those hearts that bled

don't hang your head but smile instead

Red red red red





Two years fourteen or 20 retired
Remember when they made you proud remember who inspired
Early mornings p t ropes walls mud under wires

Once your in ... your family that never expires
Black and gold army of one and one sound
Gold scarlet on the flag marines hold it down

Brown gold red blue navy boys on the sea life
Ultramarine blue and gold catch them in flight
And that coast guard keeping all our borders sealed tight

With all them combined keeps us sleeping safe at night
Get it right ......a moment of shouting and glory
Heroes in the making and all the honoree

freedom ring let that bell sing and the horns blowing
home to help keep peace and away to stop the violence
But for all those gone .. Lets have a moment of silence...

Lets have a moment of silence
