Marine Bloodlines

United States Marines

The ones who went And never returned

This is for the forgotten brothers

Laced up boots on foreign sand

Rifle in a shaking hand

Semper Fi, the oath we swore Walking through the fire of war

You were my brother,

had my back Now your name is on a plaque

But the world keeps spinning fast

Leaving shadows in our past

To the fallen on the hill,

we remember you still

Through the smoke and the cold

and the iron will

In the silence of the night,

we carry your light For the brotherhood we hold,

for the lives untold

They don't see the scars we keep

While the civilian city sleeps Some survived but lost their mind Left

a piece of them behind No parade for where you fell

Only memories of hell

But the bond is never dead

Every single word you said

To the fallen on the hill,

we remember you still Through the smoke and the cold and the

iron will

In the silence of the night,

we carry your light For the brotherhood we hold,

for the lives untold

Semper Fidelis... We won't let your names fade Rest easy,

brother

Never forgotten
