Blood of the Brave

**Verse 1:** Four score and seven years ago, Our fathers brought forth to this land we know, A new nation, conceived in liberty, Where freedom’s echo screams eternally. **Pre-Chorus:** On this hallowed ground, the fallen lay, In blood and fire, they paved the way, We stand to honor, we stand to fight, In the raging storm of the darkest night. **Chorus:** Blood of the brave, soaked in the soil, Crimson rivers, they toil and boil, From the ashes, our spirits rise, In the name of freedom, we immortalize. **Verse 2:** We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, This sacred ground where heroes met their fate, The world will note, the world will remember, The fires of war, the cold of November. **Pre-Chorus:** On this hallowed ground, the fallen lay, In blood and fire, they paved the way, We stand to honor, we stand to fight, In the raging storm of the darkest night. **Chorus:** Blood of the brave, soaked in the soil, Crimson rivers, they toil and boil, From the ashes, our spirits rise, In the name of freedom, we immortalize. **Bridge:** It is for us, the living, to be dedicated here, To the unfinished work they held so dear, That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth, And liberty shall never perish from this earth. **Solo:** (Instrumental solo expressing the turmoil and valor of battle) **Final Chorus:** Blood of the brave, soaked in the soil, Crimson rivers, they toil and boil, From the ashes, our spirits rise, In the name of freedom, we immortalize. **Outro:** Four score and seven years, The echoes of liberty in our ears, In the name of the fallen, we stand tall, For the blood of the brave shall never fall.
